A class of positive atomic maps

Abstract

We construct a new class of positive indecomposable maps in the algebra of d × d complex matrices. These maps are characterized by the ‘weakest’ positivity property and for this reason they are called atomic. This class provides a new rich family of atomic entanglement witnesses which define an important tool for investigating quantum entanglement. It turns out that they are able to detect states with the ‘weakest’ quantum entanglement.

On the Structure of Entanglement Witnesses and New Class of Positive Indecomposable Maps

Dariusz Chruściński, Andrzej Kossakowski

We construct a new class of positive indecomposable maps in the algebra of d × d complex matrices. Each map is uniquely characterized by a cyclic bistochastic matrix. This class generalizes Choi map for d = 3. It provides a new reach family of indecomposable entanglement witnesses which define important tool for investigating quantum entanglement.

Constructing optimal entanglement witnesses

Dariusz Chruściński, Justyna Pytel, Gniewomir Sarbicki

We provide a class of indecomposable entanglement witnesses. In $4\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}4$ case, it reproduces the well-known Breuer-Hall witness. We prove that these witnesses are optimal and atomic, i.e., they are able to detect the ``weakest'' quantum entanglement encoded into states with positive partial transposition. Equivalently, we provide a construction of indecomposable atomic maps in the algebra of $2k\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}2k$ complex matrices. It is shown that their structural physical approximations give rise to entanglement breaking channels. This result supports recent conjecture by Korbicz et al. [Phys. Rev. A 78, 062105 (2008)].

A class of exposed indecomposable positive maps

Gniewomir Sarbicki, Dariusz Chruściński

Exposed positive maps in matrix algebras define a dense subset of extremal maps. We provide a class of indecomposable positive maps in the algebra of 2 n × 2 n complex matrices with n ⩾ 2. It is shown that these maps are exposed and hence define the strongest tool in entanglement theory to discriminate between separable and entangled states.

How to construct indecomposable entanglement witnesses

Dariusz Chruściński, Andrzej Kossakowski

We present a very simple method for constructing indecomposable entanglement witnesses out of a given pair—an entanglement witness W and the corresponding state detected by W . This method may be used to produce new classes of atomic witnesses which are able to detect the 'weakest' quantum entanglement. Actually, it works perfectly in the multipartite case, too. Moreover, this method provides a powerful tool for constructing new examples of bound entangled states.

Indecomposable entanglement witnesses from symmetric measurements

Katarzyna Siudzińska

We propose a family of positive maps constructed from a recently introduced class of symmetric measurements. These maps are used to define entanglement witnesses, which include other popular approaches with mutually unbiased bases and mutually unbiased measurements. A particular interest is given to indecomposable witnesses that can be used to detect entanglement of quantum states with positive partial transposition. We present several examples for different number of measurements.
