43. The uniform distribution of states are generated according to the Haar measure. K. Życzkowski and M. Kuś, J. Phys. A 27, 4235 (1994). 10.1088/0305-4470/27/12/028
44. Notice that in all cases in Figs. 1 2 the width of the distributions decreases with N, so that the very large majority of the negativities concentrates within a very thin region around their mean values. This justifies the use of a (relatively) small sample of states as a valid representative to draw figures of merit for the whole Hilbert space, for additionally sampled states will most likely also fall within the thin region already accounted for.
