Hi all,
please join us on Monday at 4 pm for a PIQuDos seminar by Christian
Schilling.
Title: *Pinning of Fermionic Occupation Numbers*
Speaker: *Christian Schilling* (ETH Zurich)
Abstract:
see also: http://arxiv.org/abs/1210.5531
The problem of determining and describing the family of 1-particle
reduced density operators (1-RDO) arising from N-fermion pure states
(via partial trace) is known as the fermionic quantum marginal problem.
We present its solution, a multitude of constraints on the eigenvalues
of the 1-RDO, generalizing the Pauli exclusion principle. To explore the
relevance of these constraints we study an analytically solvable model
of N fermions in a harmonic potential and determine the spectral
`trajectory' corresponding to the ground state as function of the
fermion-fermion interaction strength. Intriguingly, we find that the
occupation numbers are almost, but not exactly, pinned to the boundary
of the allowed region (quasi-pinned). Our findings suggest a
generalization of the Hartree-Fock approximation.
