• Title: Arrangement and chemical complexity in an $N$-body quantum system
• Authors: Bo Gao
• Abstract summary: We show that the ability for particles to attract and bind is a key source of complexity of an $N$-body quantum system. For an $N$-body system made of particles of which some or all can attract and bind, the concept of arrangement is not only necessary for a full characterization of its quantum states and processes, but it also provides a basis for the description of the structure of its energy spectrum.

• Abstract: We introduce and discuss the concept of \textit{arrangement}, traditionally found in the context of chemical reactions and few-body rearrangement collisions, in the general context of an $N$-body quantum system. We show that the ability for particles to attract and bind is a key source of complexity of an $N$-body quantum system, and \textit{arrangement} is an emergent concept necessitated by the description of this complexity. For an $N$-body system made of particles of which some or all can attract and bind, the concept of arrangement is not only necessary for a full characterization of its quantum states and processes, but it also provides a basis for the understanding and the description of the structure of its energy spectrum. We also discuss and formulate multiparticle separability in an $N$-body system, the mathematical foundation that underlies the arrangement concept in an $N$-body theory.

  We show that the thermodynamic limit of a many-body system can reveal entanglement properties that are hard to detect in finite-size systems. In particular, we show that every gapped phase of matter, even the trivial one, in $Dgeq 2$ dimensions contains models with the strongest possible bipartite large-scale entanglement.

• The Quantum Ratio [0.0]
  The concept of it quantum ratio' emerged in the recent efforts to understand how Newton's equations appear for the center of mass of an isolated macroscopic body at finite body-temperatures. An important notion following from introduction of the quantum ratio is that the elementary particles (thus the electron and the photon) are quantum mechanical, even when the environment-induced decoherence turns them into a mixed state.

The concept of rigidity is introduced to describe the sensitivity of a wave function to changes in energy, potential, and/or external perturbations. We formulate cusp conditions and cusp functions as fundamental properties of an arbitrary $N$-body quantum system with $Nge 2$.
