Abstract

Multiparty quantum states are useful for a variety of quantum information and computation protocols. We define a multiparty entanglement measure based on local measurements on a multiparty quantum state and an entanglement measure averaged on the postmeasurement ensemble. Using the generalized geometric measure as the measure of multipartite entanglement for the ensemble, we demonstrate, in the case of several well-known classes of multipartite pure states, that the localized multipartite entanglement can exceed the entanglement present in the original state. We also show that measurement over multiple parties may be beneficial in enhancing localizable multipartite entanglement. We point out that localizable generalized geometric measure faithfully signals quantum critical phenomena in well-known quantum spin models even when considerable finite-size effect is present in the system.

Localizing multipartite entanglement with local and global measurements

Christopher Vairogs, Samihr Hermes, Felix Leditzky

We study the task of localizing multipartite entanglement in pure quantum states onto a subsystem by measuring the remaining systems. To this end, we fix a multipartite entanglement measure and consider two quantities: the multipartite entanglement of assistance (MEA), defined as the entanglement measure averaged over the post-measurement states and maximized over arbitrary measurements; and the localizable multipartite entanglement (LME), defined in the same way but restricted to only local single-system measurements. Both quantities generalize previously considered bipartite entanglement localization measures. In our work we choose the n-tangle, the genuine multipartite entanglement concurrence and the concentratable entanglement (CE) as the underlying seed measure, and discuss the resulting MEA and LME quantities. First, we prove easily computable upper and lower bounds on MEA and LME and establish Lipschitz-continuity for the n-tangle and CE-based LME and MEA. Using these bounds we investigate the typical behavior of entanglement localization by deriving concentration inequalities for the MEA evaluated on Haar-random states and performing numerical studies for small tractable system sizes. We then turn our attention to protocols that transform graph states. We give a simple criterion based on a matrix equation to decided whether states with a specified n-tangle value can be obtained from a given graph state, providing no-go theorems for a broad class of such graph state transformations beyond the usual “local Clifford plus local Pauli measurement” framework. This analysis is generalized to weighted graph states, which provide a realistic error model in current experiments preparing graph state. Our entanglement localization framework certifies the near-optimality of recently discussed local-measurement protocols to transform uniformly weighted line graph states into GHZ states, even when considering arbitrary entangled measurements. Finally, we demonstrate how our MEA and LME quantities can be used to detect critical phenomena such as phase transitions in transversal field Ising models. Since entanglement localization is operationally relevant throughout quantum networking and measurement-based quantum computation, our framework of results based on the MEA and LME has the potential for broad applications in these fields.

Generalized geometric measure of entanglement for multiparty mixed states

Tamoghna Das, Sudipto Singha Roy, Shrobona Bagchi +3 more

Computing entanglement of an arbitrary bipartite or multipartite mixed state is in general not an easy task as it usually involves complex optimization. Here we show that, exploiting symmetries of certain multiqudit mixed states, we can compute a genuine multiparty entanglement measure, the generalized geometric measure, for these classes of mixed states. The chosen states have different ranks and consist of an arbitrary number of parties.

Geometric criterion for separability based on local measurement

Aryaman A. Patel, Prasanta Kumar Panigrahi

A geometric understanding of entanglement is proposed based on local measurements. Taking recourse to the general structure of density matrices in the framework of Euclidean geometry, we first illustrate our approach for bipartite Werner states. It is demonstrated that separable states satisfy certain geometric constraints that entangled states do not. A separability criterion for multiparty Werner states of arbitrary dimension is derived. This approach can be used to determine separability across any bipartition of a general density matrix and leads naturally to a computable measure of entanglement for multiparty pure states. It is known that all density matrices within a certain distance of the normalized identity are separable. This distance is determined for a general setting of $n$ qudits, each of dimension $d$.

Geometric measures of multipartite entanglement in finite-size spin chains

Massimo Blasone A, Fabio Dell’Anno, Silvio De Siena +2 more

We investigate the behaviour of multipartite entanglement in finite-size quantum spin systems, resorting to a hierarchy of geometric measures of multipartite entanglement recently introduced in the literature. In particular, we investigate the ground-state entanglement in the XY model defined on finite chains of N sites with periodic boundary conditions. We analyse the behaviour of the geometric measures of (N 1)-partite and (N/2)-partite entanglement and compare them with the Wei‐Goldbart geometric measure of global entanglement.

Bound Genuine Multisite Entanglement: Detector of Gapless-Gapped Quantum Transitions in Frustrated Systems

Aditi Sen De, Ujjwal Sen

We define a multiparty entanglement measure, called generalized geometric measure, that can detect and quantify genuine multiparty entanglement for any number of parties. The quantum phase transitions in exactly solvable models like the anisotropic XY model can be detected by this measure. We find that the multisite measure can be a useful tool to detect quantum phenomena in more complex systems like quasi 2D and 2D frustrated Heisenberg antiferromagnets. We propose an order parameter, called bound generalized geometric measure, in the spirit of bound quantum states, that can recognize the gapless and gapped phases of the frustrated models by its sign. The vanishing of the order parameter therefore signals the transition between such phases.

Multipartite entanglement in fermionic systems via a geometric measure

Behzad Lari, P. Durganandini, Pramod S. Joag

We study multipartite entanglement in a system consisting of indistinguishable fermions. Specifically, we have proposed a geometric entanglement measure for $N$ spin-$\frac{1}{2}$ fermions distributed over $2L$ modes (single-particle states). The measure is defined on the $2L$ qubit space isomorphic to the Fock space for $2L$ single-particle states. This entanglement measure is defined for a given partition of $2L$ modes containing $m\ensuremath{\geqslant}2$ subsets. Thus this measure applies to $m\ensuremath{\leqslant}2L$ partite fermionic systems where $L$ is any finite number, giving the number of sites. The Hilbert spaces associated with these subsets may have different dimensions. Further, we have defined the local quantum operations with respect to a given partition of modes. This definition is generic and unifies different ways of dividing a fermionic system into subsystems. We have shown, using a representative case, that the geometric measure is invariant under local unitary operators corresponding to a given partition. We explicitly demonstrate the use of the measure to calculate multipartite entanglement in some correlated electron systems.
