Title: Compatibility entropy and the spectrum of a Thorp sweep.

Abstract: We prove that the Thorp shuffle on $n=2{}d$ cards mixes in ${}Theta(d)$ physical shuffles. After a sufficiently large fixed number of coordinate sweeps, the total-variation distance of the full permutation from uniform tends to zero as $d{}to{}infty$.
