abstract

In the context of many-fermion systems, "correlation" refers to the inadequacy of an independent-particle model. Using "free" states as archetypes of our independent-particle model, we have proposed a measure of correlation that we called "nonfreeness" [Int. J. Quant. Inf. 5, 815 (2007)]. The nonfreeness of a many-fermion state was defined to be its entropy relative to the unique free state with the same 1-matrix. In this article, we prove that the nonfreeness of a state is the minimum of its entropy relative to all free states. We also extend the definition of nonfreeness to many-boson states and discuss a couple of examples.

  • Quantum magic of strongly correlated fermions $-$ the Hubbard dimer quant-ph · 2026-05-18 · unverdicted · none · ref 44 · internal anchor

    Non-stabilizerness of the Hubbard dimer is computed with robustness of magic and stabilizer Rényi entropy, revealing it as a resource distinct from fermionic non-Gaussianity and superselected entanglement.
