The theorem is valid for states that can be written as the partial trace of a pure state chosen from a family of subsets C_n of the full symmetric subspace for $n$ subsystems. We show that such states become arbitrarily close to mixtures of pure power states as n increases. We give a second equivalent characterization of the family C_n.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v4", "updated": "2007-03-08T07:59:01.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "infinite-dimensional systems", "finetti theorem", "pure power states", "full symmetric subspace", "finetti representation theorem" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
