Quantumness of correlations in indistinguishable particles

Abstract

We discuss a general notion of quantum correlations in fermionic or bosonic indistinguishable particles. Our approach is mainly based on the identification of the algebra of single-particle observables, which allows us to devise an activation protocol in which the quantumness of correlations in the system leads to a unavoidable creation of entanglement with the measurement apparatus. Using the distillable entanglement, or the relative entropy of entanglement, as entanglement measure, we show that our approach is equivalent to the notion of minimal disturbance in a single-particle von Neumann measurement, also leading to a geometrical approach for its quantification.

Quantumness of correlations in fermionic systems

Tiago Debarba, Reinaldo O. Vianna, Fernando Iemini

We present an approach for the quantification of quantumness of correlations in fermionic systems. We study the multipartite relative entropy of quantumness in such systems and show how the symmetries in the states can be used to obtain analytical solutions. Numerical evidence of the uniqueness of such solutions is also presented. Supported by these results, we show that the minimization of the multipartite relative entropy of quantumness, over certain choices of its mode multipartitions, reduces to the notion of quantumness of indistinguishable particles. By means of an activation protocol, we characterize the class of states without quantumness of correlations. As an example, we calculate the dynamics of quantumness of correlations for a purely dissipative system, whose stationary states exhibit interesting topological nonlocal correlations.

Computable measures for the entanglement of indistinguishable particles

Fernando Iemini, Reinaldo O. Vianna

We discuss particle entanglement in systems of indistinguishable bosons and fermions, in finite Hilbert spaces, with focus on operational measures of the entanglement of particles. We show how to use von Neumann entropy, negativity, and entanglement witnesses in these cases, proving interesting relations. We obtain analytic expressions to quantify the entanglement of particles in homogeneous $D$-dimensional Hamiltonians with certain symmetries.

Entanglement of Indistinguishable Particles and its Quantification

Florian Sokoli, Burkhard Kümmerer

We introduce geometric measures of entanglement for indistinguishable particles, which apply to mixed states, multipartite systems, and arbitrary dimensions. They are based on generalized (i.e., not necessarily finite) norms on the set of quantum states and lead to the first necessary and sufficient computational separability criterion in this general setting. The coherent approach developed in the paper allows us to compare, in particular, entanglement for fermionic and distinguishable particles: The entanglement measure for fermionic particles coincides with the corresponding entanglement measure for distinguishable particles up to a factor of $k!$ where $k$ is the number of particles involved. By this result the amount of entanglement emerging from fermi statistics alone is clearly separated from the overall amount of entanglement. Finally, our techniques are applied to entanglement related to Schmidt and Slater numbers.

Quantum coherences of indistinguishable particles

Jan Sperling, Armando Pérez-Leija, Kurt Busch +1 more

We study different notions of quantum correlations in multipartite systems of distinguishable and indistinguishable particles. Based on the definition of quantum coherence for a single particle, we consider two possible extensions of this concept to the many-particle scenario and determine the influence of the exchange symmetry. Moreover, we characterize the relation of multiparticle coherence to the entanglement of the compound quantum system. To support our general treatment with examples, we consider the quantum correlations of a collection of qudits. The impact of local and global quantum superpositions on the different forms of quantum correlations is discussed. For differently correlated states in the bipartite and multipartite scenarios, we provide a comprehensive characterization of the various forms and origins of quantum correlations.

The Role of Quantumness of Correlations in Entanglement Resource Theory

Tiago Debarba

Quantum correlations: entanglement and quantumness of correlations are main resource for quantum information theory. In this chapter, the scenarios which quantumness of correlations plays an interesting role in entanglement distillation protocol are presented. By means of Koashi-Winter relation, it is discussed that quantumness of correlations are related to the irreversibility of the entanglement distillation protocol. The activation protocol is introduced, and it is proved that quantumness of correlations can create distillable entanglement between the system and the measurement apparatus during a local measurement process.
