We study the entropy of pure shift-invariant states on a quantum spin chain. Unlike the classical case, the local restrictions to intervals of length N are typically mixed and have therefore a nonzero entropy SN which is, moreover, monotonically increasing in N. We are interested in the asymptotics of the total entropy. We investigate in detail a class of states derived from quasi-free states on a CAR algebra. These are characterized by a measurable subset of the unit interval. As the entropy density is known to vanish, SN is sublinear in N. For states corresponding to unions of finitely many intervals, SN is shown to grow slower than log2 N. Numerical calculations suggest a log N behavior. For the case with infinitely many intervals, we present a class of states for which the entropy SN increases as Nα where α can take any value in (0,1).
