Special entangled fermionic systems and exceptional symmetries

Abstract

Special fermionic systems entered the realm of quantum chemistry in the seventies in the work of Borland and Dennis in the form of a toy model. This work was leading to a detailed study of the N-representability problem by Klyachko. The topic then has been reconsidered in the light of entanglement theory boiling down to the notion of entanglement polytopes. Recently building on certain properties of such special fermionic systems, a connection between the coupled cluster method and entanglement has been established. In this paper we show that precisely such a special class of systems also provides an interesting physical realization for structures related to the Lie algebras of exceptional groups. This result draws such exotic symmetry structures under the umbrella of entangled systems of physical relevance.
