Disjoint classical purifications conjecture
Disjoint classical purifications conjecture
Let and be two pure states of a generic statistical system, such as a quantum system. Let and be the sets of classical statistical states reproducing those states, and let and be the sets of pure classical states into which these preimage sets can be purified.
Disjoint classical purifications conjecture. The sets and have neither pure nor mixed states in common.
This extends the preceding convex-geometric restriction to systems with a continuum of extreme points and possibly infinite dimensions. The source gives no resolution and presents the statement among its physical conjectures.
