Abstract

We show that for any energy observable every extreme point of the set of quantum states with bounded energy is a pure state. This allows us to write every state with bounded energy in terms of a continuous convex combination of pure states of bounded energy. Furthermore, we prove that any quantum state with finite energy can be represented as a continuous convex combination of pure states with the same energy. We discuss examples from quantum information theory.<br />Comment: Preliminary version. Any comments and references are welcome
