Entropy for $SU(3{)}_c$ Quark States

Abstract

We discuss the quantum state structure using the standard model for three colored quarks in the fundamental representations of $SU(3{)}_c$ making up the singlet ground state of the hadrons. This allows us to calculate a finite von Neumann entropy from the quantum reduced density matrix, which we explicitly evaluate for the quarks in a model for the meson and baryon states. Finally we look into the general effects and implications of entanglement in the $SU(3{)}_c$ color space.
