Polynomial Monogamy Relations for Entanglement Negativity

Abstract

The notion of nonclassical correlations is a powerful contrivance for explaining phenomena exhibited in quantum systems. It is well known, however, that quantum systems are not free to explore arbitrary correlations-the church of the smaller Hilbert space only accepts monogamous congregants. We demonstrate how to characterize the limits of what is quantum mechanically possible with a computable measure, entanglement negativity. We show that negativity only saturates the standard linear monogamy inequality in trivial cases implied by its monotonicity under local operations and classical communication, and derive a necessary and sufficient inequality which, for the first time, is a nonlinear higher degree polynomial. For very large quantum systems, we prove that the negativity can be distributed at least linearly for the tightest constraint and conjecture that it is at most linear.

Are General Quantum Correlations Monogamous?

Alexander Streltsov, Gerardo Adesso, Marco Piani +1 more

Quantum entanglement and quantum nonlocality are known to exhibit monogamy; that is, they obey strong constraints on how they can be distributed among multipartite systems. Quantum correlations that comprise and go beyond entanglement are quantified by, e.g., quantum discord. It was observed recently that for some states quantum discord is not monogamous. We prove, in general, that any measure of correlations that is monogamous for all states and satisfies reasonable basic properties must vanish for all separable states: only entanglement measures can be strictly monogamous. Monogamy of other than entanglement measures can still be satisfied for special, restricted cases: we prove that the geometric measure of discord satisfies the monogamy inequality on all pure states of three qubits.

Monogamy Inequality in Terms of Higher Powers of a Correlation Measure: An Analysis

A. R. Usha Devi, S. Sudha, P. J. Geetha

We begin with the basic notions of limited shareability of quantum correlations, the so-called monogamous nature of quantum states and outline how this feature is manifested through a monogamy inequality. Not all measures of quantum correlations are suitable for bringing out the restricted shareability of correlations in a quantum state. While measures of bipartite correlations such as concurrence, quantum discord do not satisfy monogamy inequality for all categories of correlated quantum states, their second powers are found to do. There has also been a proposition that all multiparty quantum states can be made monogamous by considering positive integral powers of any quantum correlation measure (Ann. Phys. 348, 297 (2014)). We focus on this proposition and analyze whether satisfying monogamy inequality in terms of higher powers of a correlation measure implies limited shareability of correlations.

Monogamy of Quantum Entanglement

Xiao-Lan Zong, Hao-Hao Yin, Wei Song +1 more

Unlike classical correlation, quantum entanglement cannot be freely shared among many parties. This restricted shareability of entanglement among multi-party systems is known as monogamy of entanglement, which is one of the most fundamental properties of entanglement. Here, we summarize recent theoretical progress in the field of monogamy of entanglement. We firstly review the standard CKW-type monogamy inequalities in terms of various entanglement measures. In particular, the squashed entanglement and one-way distillable entanglement are monogamous for arbitrary dimensional systems. We then introduce some generalized version of monogamy inequalities which extend and sharpen the traditional ones. We also consider the dual polygamy inequalities for multi-party systems. Moreover, we present two new definitions to define monogamy of entanglement. Finally, some challenges and future directions for monogamy of entanglement are highlighted.

Unified view of monogamy relations for different entanglement measures

Yu Chen Guo

A particularly interesting feature of nonrelativistic quantum mechanics is the monogamy laws of entanglement. Although the monogamy relation has been explored extensively in the last decade, it is still not clear to what extent a given entanglement measure is monogamous. We give here a conjecture on the amount of entanglement contained in the reduced states by observing all the known related results at first. Consequently, we propose the monogamy power of an entanglement measure and the polygamy power for its dual quantity, the assisted entanglement, and show that both the monogamy power and the polygamy power exist in any multipartite systems with any dimension, from which we formalize exactly for the first time when an entanglement measure and an assisted entanglement obey the monogamy relation and the polygamy relation respectively in a unified way. In addition, we show that any entanglement measure violates the polygamy relation, which is misstated in some recent papers. Only the existence of monogamy power is conditioned on the conjecture, all other results are strictly proved.

Shareability of correlations in multiqubit states: Optimization of nonlocal monogamy inequalities

Josep Amengual i Batle, Mosayeb Naseri, MAHMOOD GHORANNEVISS +3 more

It is a well-known fact that both quantum entanglement and nonlocality (implied by the violation of Bell inequalities) constitute quantum correlations that cannot be arbitrarily shared among subsystems. They are both monogamous, albeit in a different fashion. In the present contribution we focus on nonlocality monogamy relations such as the Toner-Verstraete, the Seevinck, and a derived monogamy inequality for three parties and compare them with multipartite nonlocality measures for the whole set of pure states distributed according to the Haar measure. In this numerical endeavor, we also see that, although monogamy relations for nonlocality cannot exist for more than three parties, in practice the exploration of the whole set of states for different numbers of qubits will return effective bounds on the maximum value of all bipartite Bell violations among subsystems. Hence, we shed light on the effective nonlocality monogamy bounds in the multiqubit case.

Monogamy properties of qubit systems

Zhu, X., Fei, S.

We investigate monogamy relations related to quantum entanglement for $n-$qubit quantum systems. General monogamy inequalities are presented to the $\beta$th $(\beta\in(0,2))$ power of concurrence, negativity and the convex-roof extended negativity, as well as the $\beta$th $(\beta\in(0,\sqrt{2}))$ power of entanglement of formation. These monogamy relations are complementary to the existing ones with different regions of parameter $\beta$. In additions, new monogamy relations are also derived which include the existing ones as special cases.
