A fermionic de Finetti theorem — •Christian Krumnow, Zoltan Zimboras, and Jens Eisert — Dahlem Center for Complex Quantum Systems, Freie Universität Berlin, Berlin, Germany

Mean field approaches have a long and successful history in capturing essential features of quantum systems. One way of rigorously bounding the error made within a mean field approximation is to apply quantum versions of the de Finetti theorem. Those theorems link the symmetry of a quantum state under the swap of subsystems to vanishing quantum correlations. More concretely, they show in the case of finite dimensional quantum lattice systems that a state which is invariant under the swaps of lattice sites is locally indistinguishable from a convex combination of product states.

We present a fermionic version of the de Finetti theorem. It is shown that a state which is insensitive to swaps of fermionic modes loses most of its antisymmetric character and can locally be captured by a separable state.
