Then

For computational-basis Enter on the released cells, with prefix probabilities ,

Writing

one has

Proof. For the quantum purity, apply Lemma lem:twirl to . Its coefficients are

Since the initial vault state has trace one and purity , the expected purity is .

For the record, , where has rank . The averaged squared state is

Therefore

Sum over the outcomes to obtain (eq:cpurity).

The rank of is at most , proving its entropy upper bound. The record has outcomes. For either a state or probability distribution, entropy is at least minus the logarithm of its purity. Jensen's inequality then proves the two lower bounds. Finally, direct comparison in (eq:qpurity) gives

which proves (eq:ranktent).
