Abstract

In this work, we show that the asymptotic limit of the recoupling coefficients of the symmetric group is characterized by the existence of quantum states of three particles with given eigenvalues for their reduced density matrices. This parallels Wigner's observation that the semiclassical behavior of the 6j-symbols for SU(2)---fundamental to the quantum theory of angular momentum---is governed by the existence of Euclidean tetrahedra. We explain how to deduce solely from symmetry properties of the recoupling coefficients the strong subadditivity of the von Neumann entropy, first proved by Lieb and Ruskai, and discuss possible generalizations of our result.

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
