The generic tensor-rank conjecture for multipartite quantum states
Let be the Hilbert space of multipartite quantum states. The expected tensor rank is the smallest for which the -secant variety fills the ambient projective space; equivalently, it is the ceiling of the ambient dimension divided by the dimension of a general rank-one parameter count. Generic tensor-rank conjecture. For a general multipartite quantum state, the generic tensor rank is
except for , , and with , where it is the expected rank plus one. This is the expected-dimension prediction for secant varieties of Segre varieties. The supplied text records the exceptional cases but does not state whether the conjecture has been resolved.
