Measures of complexity and entanglement in fermionic many-body systems

Abstract

There is no unique and widely accepted definition of the complexity measure (CM) of a many-fermion wave function in the presence of interactions. The simplest many-fermion wave function is a Slater determinant. In shell-model or configuration interaction (CI) and other related methods, the state is represented as a superposition of a large number of Slater determinants, which in case of CI calculations reaches about 20 billion terms. Although in practice this number has been used as a CM for decades, it is ill defined: it is not unique, and it depends on the particular type and the number of single-particle wave functions used to construct the Slater determinants. The canonical wave functions/natural orbitals and their corresponding occupation probabilities are intrinsic properties of any many-body wave function, irrespective of the representation, and they provide a unique solution to characterize the CM. The non-negative orbital entanglement entropy, which vanishes for a Slater determinant, provides the simplest CM, while a more complete measure of complexity is the entanglement spectrum. We illustrate these aspects in the case of a complex non-equilibrium time-dependent process, induced nuclear fission described within a real-time Density Functional Theory framework extended to superfluid systems, which can describe simultaneously the long-range and the short range correlations between fermions.
