Abstract

We propose a new classification for the entanglement in graph states based on generalized con- currence. The numerical results indicate that the eight different three-qubit graph states in three categories, 64 four-qubit graph states in five categories and 1024 five-qubit graph states are in ten classes. We also compare this classification with equivalence classes of these graph states under local complementation (LC) operator, and the obtained result suggests that classification by generalized concurrence is not in contradiction with the LC-rule.

Analyzing the entanglement properties of graph states with generalized concurrence

Ahmad Akhound, Saeed Haddadi, Mohammad Ali Chaman Motlagh

We propose a new classification for the entanglement in graph states based on generalized concurrence. The numerical results indicate that the eight different three-qubit graph states in three categories, 64 four-qubit graph states in five categories and 1024 five-qubit graph states in 10 classes. We also compare this classification with equivalence classes of these graph states under local complementation (LC) operator, and the obtained result suggests that classification by generalized concurrence is not in contradiction with the LC-rule. Furthermore, our results suggest that the generalized concurrence is a suitable measure of entanglement for multi-qubit graph states.

Multipartite entanglement and hypergraph states of three qubits

Ri Qu, Zong-shang Li, Juan Wang +1 more

Several entanglement measures are used to define equivalence classes in the set of hypergraph states of three qubits. Our classifications reveal that (i) under local unitary transformations, hypergraph states of three qubits are split into six classes and only one of them is not equivalent to any graph state; (ii) under stochastic local operations with classical communication, for the single-copy case hypergraph states of three qubits, partitioned into five classes which cannot be converted into a $W$ state, are equivalent to graph states; and (iii) when bipartite entanglement in three qubits is considered, hypergraph states of three qubits are split into five classes and only one of them has the same entangled graph as the $W$ state.

Entanglement of 10-qubit graph states

Guowei Chen, Xiaoyu Chen

The number of inequivalent classes of 10-qubit graph states is 3132. All 3132 local inequivalent graphs are classified as two categories: graphs with equal bound, graphs with unequal bounds. We will use different methods to calculate the entanglement of graph states of ten qubits for the different categories. For graph states with different entanglement bounds, the closest product states are given, and they have different structural characters.

Distinguishing graph states by the properties of their marginals

Lina Vandré, Jarn de Jong, Frederik Hahn +3 more

Graph states are a class of multipartite entangled quantum states that are ubiquitous in quantum information. We study equivalence relations between graph states under local unitaries (LU) to obtain distinguishing methods both in local and in networked settings. Based on the marginal structure of graph states, we introduce a family of easy-to-compute LU invariants. We show that these invariants uniquely identify the entanglement classes of every graph state up to eight qubits and discuss their reliability for larger numbers of qubits. To handle larger graphs, we generalize tools to test for local Clifford (LC) equivalence of graph states that work by condensing large graphs into smaller graphs. In turn, we show that statements on the equivalence of these smaller graphs (which are easier to compute) can be used to infer statements on the equivalence of the original, larger graphs. We analyze LU equivalence in two key settings, with and without allowing for the permutation of qubits. We identify entanglement classes, whose marginal structure does not allow us to distinguish them. As a result, we increase the bound on the number of qubits where the LU-LC conjecture holds from 8 to 10 qubits in the setting where qubit permutations are allowed.

Compact set of invariants characterizing graph states of up to eight qubits

Adán Cabello, Antonio J. López-Tarrida, Pilar Moreno +1 more

The set of entanglement measures proposed by Hein, Eisert, and Briegel for $n$-qubit graph states [Phys. Rev. A 69, 062311 (2004)] fails to distinguish between inequivalent classes under local Clifford operations if $n\ensuremath{\ge}7$. On the other hand, the set of invariants proposed by van den Nest, Dehaene, and De Moor (VDD) [Phys. Rev. A 72, 014307 (2005)] distinguishes between inequivalent classes, but contains too many invariants (more than $2\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}{10}^{36}$ for $n=7$) to be practical. Here we solve the problem of deciding which entanglement class a graph state of $n\ensuremath{\le}8$ qubits belongs to by calculating some of the state's intrinsic properties. We show that four invariants related to those proposed by VDD are enough for distinguishing between all inequivalent classes with $n\ensuremath{\le}8$ qubits.
