Asymptotic sector-length bound for quantum states

Let AkA_k denote the kk-sector length of an nn-qubit quantum state. Asymptotic sector-length conjecture. For all kk there exists an n0n_0 such that, for all nn0n\geq n_0, every nn-qubit state satisfies

Ak(nk).A_k\leq\binom{n}{k}.

The bound is known for the cases established earlier in the paper, while numerical evidence suggests a similar statement for A4A_4 when the number of qubits is at least 88. The authors note that shadow inequalities alone are insufficient to prove the conjecture in that case, and the general assertion remains open.
