Semi-classical limit of the Levy–Lieb functional in Density Functional Theory

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

In a recent work, Bindini and De Pascale have introduced a regularization of N-particle symmetric probabilities that preserves their one-particle marginals. In this short note, we extend their construction to mixed quantum fermionic states. This enables us to prove the convergence of the Levy–Lieb functional in Density Functional Theory, to the corresponding multi-marginal optimal transport in the semi-classical limit. Our result holds for mixed states of any particle number N, with or without spin.
