Finite de Finetti Theorem for Infinite-Dimensional Systems
- 1. Department of Mathematics, Royal Holloway, University of London (United Kingdom)
Description
We formulate and prove a de Finetti representation theorem for finitely exchangeable states of a quantum system consisting of k infinite-dimensional subsystems. The theorem is valid for states that can be written as the partial trace of a pure state vertical bar Ψ><Ψ vertical bar chosen from a family of subsets (Cn) of the full symmetric subspace for n subsystems. We show that such states become arbitrarily close to mixtures of pure power states as n increases. We give a second equivalent characterization of the family (Cn)
