Entanglement Classification of extended Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger-Symmetric States

Abstract

In this paper we analyze entanglement classification of extended Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger-symmetric states $ρ^{ES}$, which is parametrized by four real parameters $x$, $y_1$, $y_2$ and $y_3$. The condition for separable states of $ρ^{ES}$ is analytically derived. The higher classes such as bi-separable, W, and Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger classes are roughly classified by making use of the class-specific optimal witnesses or map from the extended Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger symmetry to the Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger symmetry. From this analysis we guess that the entanglement classes of $ρ^{ES}$ are not dependent on $y_j \hspace{.2cm} (j=1,2,3)$ individually, but dependent on $y_1 + y_2 + y_3$ collectively. The difficulty arising in extension of analysis with Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger symmetry to the higher-qubit system is discussed.

Entanglement classification of relaxed Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger-symmetric states

In this paper we analyze entanglement classification of relaxed Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger-symmetric states $\rho^{ES}$, which is parametrized by four real parameters $x$, $y_1$, $y_2$ and $y_3$. The condition for separable states of $\rho^{ES}$ is analytically derived. The higher classes such as bi-separable, W, and Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger classes are roughly classified by making use of the class-specific optimal witnesses or map from the relaxed Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger symmetry to the Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger symmetry.

Entanglement classification of restricted Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger–symmetric states in a four-qubit system

DaeKil Park

Similar to the three-qubit Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (GHZ) symmetry we explore the four-qubit GHZ symmetry group and its subgroup, the restricted GHZ symmetry group. While the set of symmetric states under the whole group transformation is represented by three real parameters, the set of symmetric states under the subgroup transformation is represented by two real parameters. After comparing the symmetric states for whole group and subgroup, the entanglement is examined for the latter set. It is shown that the set has only two stochastic local operations and classical communication classes, ${L}_{ab{c}_{2}}$ and ${G}_{abcd}$. Extension to the multiqubit system is briefly discussed.

Optimal class-specific witnesses for three-qubit entanglement from Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger symmetry

Christopher Eltschka, Jens Siewert

Recently, a new type of symmetry for three-qubit quantum states was introduced, the so-called Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (GHZ) symmetry. It includes the operations which leave the three-qubit standard GHZ state unchanged. This symmetry is powerful as it yields families of mixed states that are, on the one hand, complex enough from the physics point of view and, on the other hand, simple enough mathematically so that their properties can be characterized analytically. We show that by using the properties of GHZ-symmetric states it is straightforward to derive optimal witnesses for detecting class-specific entanglement in arbitrary three-qubit states.

Entanglement of Three-Qubit Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger–Symmetric States

Christopher Eltschka, Jens Siewert

The first characterization of mixed-state entanglement was achieved for two-qubit states in Werner's seminal work [Phys. Rev. A 40, 4277 (1989)]. A physically important extension concerns mixtures of a pure entangled state [such as the Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (GHZ) state] and the unpolarized state. These mixed states serve as benchmark for the robustness of multipartite entanglement. They share the symmetries of the GHZ state. We call such states GHZ symmetric. Here we give a complete description of the entanglement in the family of three-qubit GHZ-symmetric states and, in particular, of the three-qubit generalized Werner states. Our method relies on the appropriate parametrization of the states and on the invariance of entanglement properties under general local operations. An application is the definition of a symmetrization witness for the entanglement class of arbitrary three-qubit states.

Nonlocality of three-qubit Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger–symmetric states

Biswajit Paul, Kaushiki Mukherjee, Debasis Sarkar

Mixed states appear naturally in experiment over pure states. So for studying different notions of nonlocality and their relation with entanglement in realistic scenarios, one needs to consider mixed states. In a recent paper [Phys. Rev. Lett. 108, 020502 (2012)], a complete characterization of entanglement of an entire class of mixed three-qubit states with the same symmetry as the Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger state, known as GHZ-symmetric states, has been achieved. In this paper we investigate different notions of nonlocality of the same class of states. By finding the analytical expressions of maximum violation value of most efficient Bell inequalities we obtain the conditions of standard nonlocality and genuine nonlocality of this class of states. Also the relation between entanglement and nonlocality is discussed for this class of states. Interestingly, genuine entanglement of GHZ-symmetric states is necessary to reveal standard nonlocality. However, it is not sufficient to exploit the same.
