24. More precisely, inequality of Eq. 21 follows from applying the strong superadditivity of the von Neumann entropy, in the form (Formula presented), to the state (Formula presented), where (Formula presented) is an orthonormal set of vectors.
25. Recall that for any mixed state (Formula presented) and any of its realizations (Formula presented), the concavity of the von Neumann entropy implies that (Formula presented)
