We give an efficient 0.8395-approximation algorithm for the EPR Hamiltonian. Our improvement comes from a new nonlinear monogamy-of-entanglement bound on star graphs and a refined parameterization of a shallow quantum circuit from previous works. We also prove limitations showing that current methods cannot achieve substantially better approximation ratios, indicating that further progress will require fundamentally new techniques.
