Abstract

We study maximally entangled states and fully entangled fraction in general ${d}^{\ensuremath{'}}\ensuremath{\bigotimes}d$ (${d}^{\ensuremath{'}}\ensuremath{\ge}d$) systems. Necessary and sufficient conditions for maximally entangled pure and mixed states are presented. As a natural generalization of the usual fully entangled fraction for $d\ensuremath{\bigotimes}d$ systems, we define the maximal overlap between a given quantum state and the maximally entangled states as the fully entangled fraction in ${d}^{\ensuremath{'}}\ensuremath{\bigotimes}d$ systems. The properties of this fully entangled fraction and its relations to quantum teleportation have been analyzed. The witness for detecting maximally entangled states and quantum states that are useful for quantum teleportation is provided.

Comparison of quantum discord and fully entangled fraction of two classes of $d\otimes d^2$ states

Javad Behdani, Seyed Javad Akhtarshenas, Mohsen Sarbishaei

The quantumness of a generic state is the resource of many applications in quantum information theory and it is interesting to survey the measures which are able to detect its trace in the properties of the state. In this work we study the quantum discord and fully entangled fraction of two classes of bipartite states and compare their behaviors. These classes are complements to the $d\otimes d$ Werner and isotropic states, in the sense that each class possesses the same purification as the corresponding complemental class of states. Our results show that maximally entangled mixed states are also maximally discordant states, leading to a generalization of the well-known fact that all maximally entangled pure states have also maximum quantum discord. Moreover, it is shown that the separability-entanglement boundary of a Werner or isotropic state is manifested as an inflection point in the diagram of quantum discord of the corresponding complemental state.

Upper bound of the fully entangled fraction

Ming Li, Shao-Ming Fei, Zhi‐Xi Wang

We study the fully entangled fraction of quantum states. An upper bound is obtained for arbitrary dimensional bipartite systems. This bound is shown to be exact for the case of two-qubit systems. An inequality related the fully entangled fraction of two qubits in a three-qubit mixed state has been also presented.

Quantum Teleportation: from Pure to Mixed States and Standard to Optimal

Sergio A Albeverio, S.M. Fei, Wen‐Li Yang

Teleportation for pure states, mixed states with standard and optimal protocols are introduced and investigated systematically. An explicit equation governing the teleportation of finite dimensional quantum pure states by a generally given non-local entangled state is presented. For the teleportation of a mixed state with an arbitrary mixed state resource, an explicit expression is obtained for the quantum channel associated with the standard teleportation protocol. The corresponding transmission fidelity is calculated. It is shown that the standard teleportation protocol is not optimal. The optimal quantum teleportation is further studied, its fidelity is given and shown to be related to the fully entangled fraction of the quantum resource, rather than the single fraction as in the standard teleportation protocol.

Mixed maximally entangled states

Z. G. Li, Mengliu Zhao, Shao-Ming Fei +2 more

We find that the mixed maximally entangled states exist and prove that the form of the mixed maximally entangled states is unique in terms of the entanglement of formation. Moreover, even if the entanglement is quantified by other entanglement measures, this conclusion is still proven right. This result is a supplementary to the generally accepted fact that all maximally entangled states are pure. These states possess important properties of the pure maximally entangled states, for example, these states can be used as a resource for faithful teleportation and they can be distinguished perfectly by local operations and classical communication.

Entanglement Witness Operator for Quantum Teleportation

Nirman Ganguly, Satyabrata Adhikari, A. S. Majumdar +1 more

The ability of entangled states to act as a resource for teleportation is linked to a property of the fully entangled fraction. We show that the set of states with their fully entangled fraction bounded by a threshold value required for performing teleportation is both convex and compact. This feature enables the existence of Hermitian witness operators, the measurement of which could distinguish unknown states useful for performing teleportation. We present an example of such a witness operator illustrating it for different classes of states.
