## Drawing the connection between the space $S^{2n+1}$, $CP^n$, and $\mathbb{R}$
A pure quantum state of size $N$ can be identified with a Hopf circle on the sphere $S^{2N-1}$.
A pure quantum state of size $N$ can be identified with a **Hopf circle** on the sphere $S^{2N-1}$.
A random pure state $|\psi\rangle$ of a bipartite $N\times K$ system such that $K\geq N\geq 3$.
The partial trace of such system produces a mixed state $\rho(\psi)=\operatorname{Tr}_K(|\psi\rangle\langle \psi|)$, with induced measure $\mu_K$. When $K=N$, the induced measure $\mu_K$ is the Hilbert-Schmidt measure.
Consider the function $f:S^{2N-1}\to \mathbb{R}$ defined by $f(x)=S(\rho(\psi))$, where $S(\cdot)$ is the von Neumann entropy. The Lipschitz constant of $f$ is $\sim \ln N$.
