For (eq:reduction),
For ,
Proof. The vacuum and excitation blocks are orthogonal, proving (eq:purity). All full-state off-diagonal entries belong to . Positivity and Cauchy–Schwarz give
Differentiating conditional purity eliminates the commutator, and . The difference from the vacuum has blocks and , so its trace norm is . The limiting purity follows from (eq:purity).
