Abstract

Recently, we introduced a solution to the quantum marginal problem relevant to two-dimensional quantum many-body systems [I. H. Kim, Phys. Rev. X, 11, 021039]. One of the conditions was that the marginals are internally translationally invariant. We show that this condition can be replaced by a weaker condition, namely the local consistency of the marginals. This extends the applicability of the solution to any quantum many-body states in two dimensions that satisfy the entropy scaling law, with or without symmetry. We also significantly simplify the proof by advocating the usage of the maximum-entropy principle.
