Abstract

We present a general strategy to derive entanglement criteria through a dichotomization procedure which consists of performing a mapping from qudits to qubits that preserves the separability of the parties and the SU(2) rotational invariance. Consequently, it is possible to apply the well-known positive partial transpose criterion to reveal the existence of quantum correlations between qudits. We discuss some examples of entangled states that are detected using the proposed strategy. Finally, we demonstrate, using our scheme, how some variance-based entanglement witnesses can be generalized from qubits to higher dimensional spin systems.

Entanglement in SU(2)-invariant quantum systems: The positive partial transpose criterion and others

John Schliemann

We study entanglement in mixed bipartite quantum states which are invariant under simultaneous SU(2) transformations in both subsystems. Previous results on the behavior of such states under partial transposition are substantially extended. The spectrum of the partial transpose of a given SU(2)-invariant density matrix $\ensuremath{\rho}$ is entirely determined by the diagonal elements of $\ensuremath{\rho}$ in a basis of tensor-product states of both spins with respect to a common quantization axis. We construct a set of operators which act as entanglement witnesses on SU(2)-invariant states. A sufficient criterion for $\ensuremath{\rho}$ having a negative partial transpose is derived in terms of a simple spin correlator. The same condition is a necessary criterion for the partial transpose to have the maximum number of negative eigenvalues. Moreover, we derive a series of sum rules which uniquely determine the eigenvalues of the partial transpose in terms of a system of linear equations. Finally we compare our findings with other entanglement criteria including the reduction criterion, the majorization criterion, and the recently proposed local uncertainty relations.

Quadratic Entanglement Criteria for Qutrits

Krzysztof Rosołek, Marcin Wieśniak, Lukas Knips

The problem of detecting non-classical correlations of states of many qudits is incomparably more involved than in the case of qubits.One reason is that for qubits we have a convenient description of the system by the means of the well-studied correlation tensor allowing to encode the complete information about the state in mean values of dichotomic measurements.The other reason is the more complicated structure of the state space, where, for example, different Schmidt ranks or bound entanglement comes into play.We demonstrate that for three-dimensional quantum subsystems we are able to formulate nonlinear entanglement criteria of the state with existing formalisms.We also point out where the idea for constructing these criteria fails for higher-dimensional systems, which poses well-defined open questions.

Entanglement in SU(2)-invariant quantum systems: The PPT criterion and others

John Schliemann

We study entanglement in mixed bipartite quantum states which are invariant under simultaneous SU(2) transformations in both subsystems. Previous results on the behavior of such states under partial transposition are substantially extended. The spectrum of the partial transpose of a given SU(2)-invariant density matrix $\\rho$ is entirely determined by the diagonal elements of $\\rho$ in a basis of tensor-product states of both spins with respect to a common quantization axis. We construct a set of operators which act as entanglement witnesses on SU(2)-invariant states. A sufficient criterion for $\\rho$ having a negative partial transpose is derived in terms of a simple spin correlator. The same condition is a necessary criterion for the partial transpose to have the maximum number of negative eigenvalues.

A Necessary and Sufficient Entanglement Criterion of N-qubit System Based on Correlation Tensor

Fenglin Wu, Siyuan Liu, Wen‐Li Yang +2 more

Great advances have been achieved in studying characteristics of entanglement for fundamentals of quantum mechanics and quantum information processing. However, even for N-qubit systems, the problem of entanglement criterion has not been well solved. In this Letter, using the method of state decomposition and high order singular value decomposition (HOSVD), we propose a necessary and sufficient entanglement criterion for general N-qubit systems. As an example, we apply our method to study the multi-qubit W state with white noise. We not only obtain the separability critical point, which is tight and thus better than known results, but also the separate states ensemble for decomposition. More examples are presented to show our criterion is accurate, which is tighter than the well-known positive partial transpose criterion. For two-qubit case, we can provide an entanglement measurer which gives similar results with concurrence up to a factor. Our results pave the way to solve the entanglement-separability criterion for more general cases.

Unifying several separability conditions using the covariance matrix criterion

Oleg Gittsovich, Otfried Gühne, P. Hyllus +1 more

We present a framework for deciding whether a quantum state is separable or entangled using covariance matrices of locally measurable observables. This leads to the covariance matrix criterion as a general separability criterion. We demonstrate that this criterion allows us to detect many states where the familiar criterion of the positivity of the partial transpose fails. It turns out that a large number of criteria that have been proposed to complement the positive partial transpose criterion---the computable cross norm or realignment criterion, the criterion based on local uncertainty relations, criteria derived from extensions of the realignment map, and others---are in fact a corollary of the covariance matrix criterion.
