Extending To The Multipartite Case
The above discussion generalizes easily to the case of a quantum system consisting of more than two subsystems. Let a system have n subsystems and have state space . A pure state is separable if it takes the form
Similarly, a mixed state ρ acting on H is separable if it is a convex sum
Or, in the infinite dimensional case, ρ is separable if it can be approximated in the trace norm by states of the above form.

“The radiance was that of the full, setting, and blood-red moon, which now shone vividly through that once barely- discernible fissure,... extending from the roof of the building, in a zigzag direction, to the base. While I gazed, this fissure rapidly widened.”
—Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)
