The problem of optimizing a linear function on the set of\nseparable states is closely r elated to polynomial optimization on the\nsphere. After recalling the sum- of-squares hierarchy for this problem\,\nI will show bounds on the rate of convergence of this SDP hierarchy\;\nand prove that the set of separable states has no SDP representation\nof finite size.\n DTSTAMP:20250525T194124Z END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
