Almost all even-particle pure states are determined by their half-body marginals
Abstract: Determining whether the original global state is uniquely determined by its local marginals is a prerequisite for some efficient tools for characterizing quantum states. This paper shows that almost all generic pure states of even $N$-particle with equal local dimension are uniquely determined among all other pure states (UDP) by four of their half-body marginals. Furthermore, we give a graphical description of the marginals for determining genuinely multipartite entangled states, which leads to several lower bounds on the number of required marginals. Finally, we present a construction of N-qudit states obtained from certain combinatorial structures that cannot be UDP by its k-body marginals for some k>N/2-1.
