Abstract

The nonlocal properties of arbitrary dimensional bipartite quantum systems are investigated. A complete set of invariants under local unitary transformations is presented. These invariants give rise to both sufficient and necessary conditions for the equivalence of quantum states under local unitary transformations: two density matrices are locally equivalent if and only if all these invariants have equal values.

Nonlocal properties and local invariants for bipartite systems

The nonlocal properties for a kind of generic N-dimensional bipartite quantum systems are investigated. A complete set of invariants under local unitary transformations is presented. It is shown that two generic density matrices are locally equivalent if and only if all these invariants have equal values in these density matrices.

We study the equivalence of bipartite mixed states under local unitary transformations. A complete set of invariants under local unitary transformations is presented for a class of mixed states in CM ⊗ CN composite systems. It is shown that two density matrices in this class are locally equivalent if and only if all these invariants have equal values for these density matrices.

A Note on Equivalence of Bipartite States under Local Unitary Transformations

Bao-Zhi Sun, Shao-Ming Fei, Xianqing Li‐Jost +5 more

The equivalence of arbitrary dimensional bipartite states under local unitary transformations (LUT) is studied. A set of invariants and an-cillary invariants under LUT is presented. We show that two states are equivalent under LUT if and only if they have the same values for all of these invariants.

Local unitary equivalence of arbitrary-dimensional multipartite quantum states

Qing Fa Zhou, Yi-Zheng Zhen, Xin-Yu Xu +6 more

Local unitary equivalence is an important ingredient for quantifying and classifying entanglement. Verifying whether or not two quantum states are local unitary equivalent is a crucial problem, where only the case of multipartite pure states is solved. For mixed states, however, the verification of local unitary equivalence is still a challenging problem. In this paper, based on the coefficient matrices of generalized Bloch representations of quantum states, we find a variety of local unitary invariants for arbitrary-dimensional bipartite quantum states. These invariants are operational and can be used as necessary conditions for verifying the local unitary equivalence of two quantum states. Furthermore, we extend the construction to the arbitrary-dimensional multipartite case. We finally apply these invariants to estimate concurrence, a vital entanglement measure, showing the practicability of local unitary invariants in characterizing entanglement.

The equivalence of arbitrary dimensional bipartite states under local unitary transformations (LUT) is studied. A set of invariants and ancillary invariants under LUT is presented. We show that two states are equivalent under LUT if and only if they have the same values for all of these invariants.

EQUIVALENCE OF TRIPARTITE QUANTUM STATES UNDER LOCAL UNITARY TRANSFORMATIONS

Sergio A Albeverio, LAURA CATTANEO, Shao-Ming Fei +1 more

The equivalence of tripartite pure states under local unitary transformations is investigated. The nonlocal properties for a class of tripartite quantum states in ℂK ⊗ ℂM ⊗ ℂN composite systems are investigated and a complete set of invariants under local unitary transformations for these states is presented. It is shown that two of these states are locally equivalent if and only if all these invariants have the same values.
