contents The Weyl-Wigner formalism for evaluating the intrinsic information of Dirac bispinors as correlated qubits (localized) in a magnetic field is investigated in the extension to statistical ensembles. The confining external field quantizes the quantum correlation measures implied by the spin-parity qubit structure of the Dirac equation in 3+1 dimensions, which simplifies the computation of the entanglement quantifier for mixed states in relativistic Landau levels. This allows for the evaluation of quantum and classical correlations in terms of entropy measures for Dirac structures that are eventually mixed. Our results are twofold. First, a family of mixed Gaussian states is obtained in phase space, and its intrinsic correlation structure is computed in closed form. Second, the partition function for the low-dimensional Dirac equation in a magnetic field is derived through complex integration techniques. It describes the low-temperature regime in terms of analytically continued Zeta functions and the high temperature limit as a polynomial on the temperature variable. The connection with lower dimensional systems is further elicited by mapping the spin-parity qubits to valley-sublattice bispinors of the low-energy effective Hamiltonian of graphene.
