We investigate the behavior of entanglement-entropy on a broad scale, that is, a large class of systems, Hamiltonians and states describing the interaction of many degrees of freedom. It is one of our aims to show which general…

We demonstrate that, if a truncated expansion of a wave function is small, then the standard excited states computational method, of optimizing one root of a secular equation, may lead to an incorrect wave function - despite the correct…
