Entropy and entanglement bounds for reduced density matrices of fermionic states

By Elliott H. Lieb

One of the important aspects of many-body quantum mechanics of electrons is the analysis of two-body density matrices. While the characterization of one-body density matrices is well known and simple to state, that of two-body matrices is far from simple – indeed, it is not fully known. In this talk I will present joint work with Eric Carlen in which we study the possible entropy of such matrices. We find, inter alia, that minimum entropy is achieved for Slater determinant N-body parent functions. Thus, from the entropic point of view, Slater determinants play the same role as condensates play for bosons.
