Title:     A Minimum Free Energy Principle for Hadrons

Abstract: I will review calculations of the PDF, i.e. wavefunction, and the mass spectrum of hadrons in a few confining theories in 1+1D. I will then put forward a variation method proposal for a less numerically-intensive calculation of these properties. Template functions in this method minimize a free energy functional composed of valence partons' kinetic energy and the entanglement entropy between all pairs of partons in the hadron. We find that our predictions perfectly match the existing numerical results on hadron properties in the toy models under study. I will speculate on potential generalizations of this result to other confining theories, including those in higher dimensions.
