Determining the entanglement of formation for arbitrary two-mode Gaussian states using Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen-like uncertainty

Y. Akbari-Kourbolagh, Hoda Alijanzadeh-Boora

In this article, we have derived a compact form for the entanglement of formation of arbitrary two-mode Gaussian states by using the Duan et al. inequality which gives a neccessary and sufficient separability condition for any two-mode Gaussian state.

Optimality of Gaussian Entanglement of Formation

Gerardo Adesso

We prove that the entanglement of formation of every two-mode Gaussian state coincides with its Gaussian restriction, solving a longstanding open problem in continuous variable quantum information theory. The key result is a sharp affine relation between entanglement and a generalized Einstein--Podolsky--Rosen observable, valid for arbitrary pure two-mode states, including non-Gaussian ones. We further prove that the entanglement of formation is additive on arbitrary tensor products of two-mode Gaussian states, and hence coincides with the entanglement cost, settling the latter for all two-mode Gaussian states. As a consequence, we obtain in closed form the entanglement cost of thermal-loss, thermal-amplifier and additive-noise bosonic channels. Our results, which also extend to bisymmetric multimode states, establish that no two-mode state is less entangled than the Gaussian state with the same covariance matrix, yielding measurable lower bounds on both the entanglement of formation and the entanglement cost of arbitrary non-Gaussian states.

Entanglement of Formation for Gaussian States

J. Solomon Ivan, R. Simon

The entanglement of formation (EOF) is computed for arbitrary two-mode Gaussian states. Apart from a conjecture, our analysis rests on two main ingredients. The first is a four-parameter canonical form we develop for the covariance matrix, one of these parameters acting as a measure of EOF, and the second is a generalisation of the EPR correlation, used in the work of Giedke {\em et al} [Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 91}, 107901 (2003)], to noncommuting variables. The conjecture itself is in respect of an extremal property of this generalized EPR correlation.
