Computable constraints on entanglement-sharing of multipartite quantum states

Abstract

\Negativity is regarded as an important measure of entanglement in quantum information theory. In contrast to other measures of entanglement, it is easily computable for bipartite states in arbitrary dimensions. In this paper, based on the negativity and realignment, we provide a set of entanglement-sharing constraints for multipartite states, where the entanglement is not necessarily limited to bipartite and pure states, thus aiding in the quantification of constraints for entanglement-sharing. These may find applications in studying many-body systems.

Bipartite entanglement of quantum states in a pair basis

M. Roncaglia, Arianna Montorsi, Marco Genovese

The unambiguous detection and quantification of entanglement is a hot topic of scientific research, though it is limited to low dimensions or specific classes of states. Here we identify an additional class of quantum states, for which bipartite entanglement measures can be efficiently computed, providing rigorous results. Such states are written in arbitrary $d\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}d$ dimensions, where each basis state in the subsystem A is paired with only one state in B. This class, to which we refer as pair basis states, is remarkably relevant in many physical situations, including quantum optics. We find that negativity is a necessary and sufficient measure of entanglement for mixtures of states written in the same pair basis. We also provide analytical expressions for a tight lower-bound estimation of the entanglement of formation, a central quantity in quantum information.

Observable measures of multipartite entanglement

Francois Payn, Davide Girolami

Multipartite entanglement is the premier resource for quantum technologies. Yet, its exact quantification in the laboratory is notoriously challenging, typically requiring the full knowledge of high dimensional quantum states. Here, we construct observable bounds to multipartite entanglement for systems of arbitrary size, which are functions of the local and global state purities, and correlation functions. First, we derive experimentally accessible upper and lower limits to both the bipartite entanglement of formation and the squashed entanglement of bipartite systems, by leveraging cornerstone results of quantum information theory: the entropy strong subadditivity inequality and the Koashi-Winter monogamy relation. Then, we convert them into bounds to the entanglement up to degree k for arbitrary states, and to the genuine k-partite entanglement, by employing a recently proposed method. Finally, we analytically and numerically test these results, by bounding the multipartite entanglement of several relevant states and mixtures, including the important classes of GHZ, Dicke, W states, and random pure states.

Tractable Quantification of Entanglement for Multipartite Pure States

Nian-Quan Jiang, Wang Yu-Jian, Yi-Zhuang Zheng +1 more

We present kth-order entanglement measure and global kth-order entanglement measure for multipartite pure states, and extend Bennett's measure of partial entropy for bipartite pure states to a multipartite case. These measures are computable and can effectively classify and quantify the entanglement of multipartite pure states.

Negativity as an Estimator of Entanglement Dimension

Christopher Eltschka, Jens Siewert

Among all entanglement measures negativity arguably is the best known and most popular tool to quantify bipartite quantum correlations. It is easily computed for arbitrary states of a composite system and can therefore be applied to discuss entanglement in an ample variety of situations. However, as opposed to logarithmic negativity, its direct physical meaning has not been pointed out yet. We show that the negativity can be viewed as an estimator of how many degrees of freedom of two subsystems are entangled. As it is possible to give lower bounds for the negativity even in a device-independent setting, it is the appropriate quantity to certify quantumness of both parties in a bipartite system and to determine the minimum number of dimensions that contribute to the quantum correlations.

Quantification and measurement of many-body entanglement

Ramkalawon, Ranesh

The focal point of this thesis is strongly based on quantum entanglement within Quantum Information Science. We provide an indepth analysis of entanglement quantification in both bipartite and multipartite quantum systems, with an emphasis on many-body entanglement. We examine the definitions of entanglement, introduce several entanglement measures, and examine the challenges in expanding these measures to multipartite scenarios. For bipartite systems, we detail entropy-based measures such as von Neumann and Rényi entropies, the entanglement spectrum and important algebraic metrics such as negativity and concurrence. We then elaborate on multipartite entanglement, introducing modern measures and detection techniques including geometric and global entanglement measurements, generalised multipartite concurrence, multipartite negativity, fidelity-based entanglement benchmarks, and entanglement witnesses. Some examples include Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (GHZ), and the W states to illustrate the distinction between biseparable and truly multi-partite-entangled states, as well as the SLOCC classification of families of entangled states. We also briefly introduce practical ways of measuring entanglement, such as the SWAP test, quantum state tomography for experimental estimation of entanglement and consequently randomised measurements. We apply these measures to specific quantum states (GHZ, W , graph states, and random states), analysing how entanglement evolves under operations and how different metrics capture distinct features of multi-qubit entanglement. Finally, we conclude with a summary of findings, a discussion of current limitations such as scalability of measures. The thesis is organised into five chapters: Introduction, Entanglement, Multipartite Entanglement Measures, Negativity vs. Three-Tangle, and Conclusion.

Multipartite entanglement based on realignment moments

Hui Zhao, Zhuang, Shu-Ying, Naihuan Jing +1 more

Based on the realignment moments of density matrix, we study parameterized entanglement criteria for bipartite and multipartite states. By adjusting the different parameter values, our criterion can detect not only bound entangled states, but also non-positive partial transpose entangled states for bipartite quantum systems. Moreover, we propose the definition of multipartite realignment moments and generalize the result of bipartite systems to obtain a sufficient criterion to detect entanglement for multipartite quantum states in arbitrary dimensions. And we further improve the conclusion to obtain another new entanglement criterion. The new method can detect more entangled states than previous methods as backed by detailed examples.
