Abstract We prove that the Hilbert–Schmidt norm of k -particle reduced density matrices of N -body fermionic states is bounded from above by CₖN^k/2 C k N k / 2 - matching the scaling behaviour of Slater determinant states. This generalises a recent result of Christiansen 3 on 2-particle reduced density matrices to higher order density matrices. Moreover, our estimate directly yields a lower bound on the von Neumann entropy and the 2-Rényi entropy of reduced density matrices, thereby providing further insight into conjectures of Carlen–Lieb–Reuvers 2, 8.
François L. A. Visconti (Mon,) studied this question.
