Strong monogamy conjecture in a four-qubit system

Abstract

Monogamy is a defining feature of entanglement, having far-reaching applications. Recently, Regula et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 113, 110501 (2014)] proposed a stronger version of monogamy relation for concurrence. We have extended the strong monogamy inequality for another entanglement measure, viz., negativity. In particular, we have concentrated on the four-qubit system and provided a detailed study on the status of strong monogamy on pure states. Further, we have analytically provided some classes of states for which negativity and squared negativity satisfy strong monogamy. Numerical evidences have also been shown in proper places. Our analysis also provides cases where strong monogamy is violated.

Monogamy Relations for Squared Entanglement Negativity*

Feng Liu

Abstract This paper contains two main contents. In the first part, we provide two counterexamples of monogamy inequalities for the squared entanglement negativity: one three-qutrit pure state which violates of the He—Vidal monogamy conjecture, and one four-qubit pure state which disproves the squared-negativity-based Regula—Martino—Lee—Adesso-class strong monogamy conjecture. In the second part, we investigate the sharing of the entanglement negativity in a composite cavity-reservoir system using the corresponding multipartite entanglement scores, and then we find that there is no simple dominating relation between multipartite entanglement scores and the entanglement negativity in composite cavity-reservoir systems. As a by-product, we further validate that the entanglement of two cavity photons is a decreasing function of the evolution time, and the entanglement will suddenly disappear interacting with independent reservoirs.

Strong Monogamy Conjecture for Multiqubit Entanglement: The Four-Qubit Case

Bartosz Regula, Sara Di Martino, Soojoon Lee +1 more

We investigate the distribution of bipartite and multipartite entanglement in multiqubit states. In particular, we define a set of monogamy inequalities sharpening the conventional Coffman-Kundu-Wootters constraints, and we provide analytical proofs of their validity for relevant classes of states. We present extensive numerical evidence validating the conjectured strong monogamy inequalities for arbitrary pure states of four qubits.

Strong monogamy of quantum entanglement for multi-qubit W-class states

Jeong San Kim

We provide a strong evidence for strong monogamy inequality of multi-qubit entanglement recently proposed in [B. Regula {\em et al.}, Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 113}, 110501 (2014)]. We consider a large class of multi-qubit generalized W-class states, and analytically show that the strong monogamy inequality of multi-qubit entanglement is saturated by this class of states.
