Monogamy of entanglement, N-representability problems and ground states

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapterpeer-review

Abstract

Monogamy of entanglement is a quantum mechanical property that limits quantum correlations shared among many parties. In an example strongly interacting spin system we examine approaches for approximating the ground state energy both from above and below by mean-field and N-representability methods, respectively. Due to strong competition among the terms in the Hamiltonian, the resulting ground-state wavefunction, although is entangled, does not possess entanglement that is proportional to the system size, thus obeying the monogamy of entanglement.
