Quantum marginal problem and N-representability

Quantum Physics 2009-11-11 v1

Abstract

A variant of the quantum marginal problem was known from early sixties as N-representability problem. In 1995 it was designated by National Research Council of USA as one of ten most prominent research challenges in quantum chemistry. In spite of this recognition the progress was very slow, until a couple of years ago the problem came into focus again, now in framework of quantum information theory. In the paper I give an account of the recent development.
