Lately, there has been a renewed interest in fermionic 1-body reduced density matrices and their restrictions beyond the Pauli principle. These restrictions are usually quantified using the polytope of allowed, ordered eigenvalues of such…
The Pauli exclusion principle is a constraint on the natural occupation numbers of fermionic states. It has been suspected since at least the 1970's, and only proved very recently, that there is a multitude of further constraints on these…
All matter is made up of fermions -- one of the fundamental type of particles in nature. Fermions follow the Pauli exclusion principle, stating that two or more identical fermions cannot occupy the same quantum state. Antisymmetry of the…
Postulated by Pauli to explain the electronic structure of atoms and molecules, the exclusion principle establishes an upper bound of 1 for the fermionic natural occupation numbers $\{n_i\}$. A recent analysis of the pure…
We have explained and comprehensively illustrated in Part I that the generalized Pauli constraints suggest a natural extension of the concept of active spaces. In the present Part II, we provide rigorous derivations of the theorems involved…
Fermionic natural occupation numbers do not only obey Pauli's exclusion principle but are even stronger restricted by so-called generalized Pauli constraints. Whenever given natural occupation numbers lie on the boundary of the allowed…
The Pauli exclusion principle gives an upper bound of 1 on the natural occupation numbers. Recently there has been an intriguing amount of theoretical evidence that there is a plethora of additional generalized Pauli restrictions or…
The concept of active spaces simplifies the description of interacting quantum many-body systems by restricting to a neighbourhood of active orbitals around the Fermi level. The respective wavefunction ansatzes which involve all possible…
We derive an equation for the time evolution of the natural occupation numbers for fermionic systems with more than two electrons. The evolution of such numbers is connected with the symmetry-adapted generalized Pauli exclusion principle,…
Analytical evidence for the physical relevance of generalized Pauli constraints (GPCs) has recently been provided in [PRL 110, 040404]: Natural occupation numbers $\vec{\lambda}\equiv (\lambda_i)$ of the ground state of a model system in…
The dependence of the (quasi-)saturation of the generalized Pauli constraints on the pair potential is studied for ground states of few-fermion systems. For this, we consider spinless fermions in one dimension which are harmonically…
The question of whether given density operators for subsystems of a multipartite quantum system are compatible to one common total density operator is known as the quantum marginal problem. We briefly review the solution of a subclass of…
It has been conjectured that the Pauli exclusion principle alone may be responsible for a particular geometric arrangement of confined systems of identical fermions even when there is no interaction between them. These geometric structures,…
Fermionic natural occupation numbers do not only obey Pauli's exclusion principle, but are even further restricted by so-called generalized Pauli constraints. Such restrictions are particularly relevant whenever they are saturated by given…
"What are the consequences ... that Fermi particles cannot get into the same state ... " R. P. Feynman wrote of the Pauli exclusion principle, "In fact, almost all the peculiarities of the material world hinge on this wonderful fact." In…
The Pauli exclusion principle as constraint on fermionic occupation numbers is a consequence of the much deeper fermionic exchange statistics. Just recently, it was shown by Klyachko that this antisymmetry of fermionic wave functions leads…
The Pauli exclusion principle in quantum mechanics has a profound influence on the structure of matter and on interactions between fermions. Almost 30 years ago it was predicted that the Pauli exclusion principle could lead to a suppression…
Pauli's exclusion principle has a strong impact on the properties of most fermionic quantum systems. Remarkably, the fermionic exchange symmetry implies further constraints on the one-particle picture. By exploiting those generalized Pauli…
Confined quantum systems involving $N$ identical interacting fermions are found in many areas of physics, including condensed matter, atomic, nuclear and chemical physics. In a previous series of papers, a manybody perturbation method that…
The Pauli exclusion principle is a fundamental law underpinning the structure of matter. Due to their anti-symmetric wave function, no two fermions can occupy the same quantum state. Here, we report on the direct observation of the Pauli…
