Abstract: We give a numerical characterization of mutual orthogonality (that is, complementarity) for subalgebras. In order to give such a characterization for mutually orthogonal subalgebras A and B of the kimesk matrix algebra Mk(mathbbC), where A and B are isomorphic to some Mn(mathbbC) (nleqk), we consider a density matrix which is induced from the pair A,B. We show that A and B are mutually orthogonal if and only if the von Neumann entropy of the density matrix is the maximum value 2logn, which is the logarithm of the dimension of the subfactors.
