Abstract

We introduce measures of multipartite quantum correlations based on classical correlations in mutually unbiased bases. These classical correlations are measured in terms of the classical mutual information, which has a clear operational meaning. We present sufficient conditions under which these measures are maximized. States that have previously been shown to be particularly important in the context of local operations and classical communication fulfill these conditions and therefore maximize the correlation measures. In addition, we show how the introduced measures can be used to detect high-dimensional tripartite entanglement by using only a few local measurements.

Detecting high-dimensional multipartite entanglement via some classes of measurements

Lu Liu, Ting Gao, Fengli Yan

Mutually unbiased bases, mutually unbiased measurements and general symmetric informationally complete measurements are three related concepts in quantum information theory. We investigate multipartite systems using these notions and present some criteria detecting entanglement of arbitrary high dimensional multi-qudit systems and multipartite systems of subsystems with different dimensions. It is proved that these criteria can detect the k -nonseparability ( k is even) of multipartite qudit systems and arbitrary high dimensional multipartite systems of m subsystems with different dimensions. We show that they are more efficient and wider of application range than the previous ones. They provide experimental implementation in detecting entanglement without full quantum state tomography.

Quantum correlations in mutually unbiased bases and non-Markovian dephasing

Hermann L. Albrecht, David M. Bellorin

Wu et al. introduced a symmetric measure $Q^{s}$ in terms of mutually unbiased bases (MUBs) that quantifies residual quantum correlations (RQC). The definition of this measure involves determining two complementary local bases via an optimization of the quantum mutual information. One defines the first local bases, the optimal computational ones, by maximizing the classical correlations measure. Next, one defines a new set of local bases that are complementary to the first ones. In the latter, one also calculates the corresponding measure of quantum correlations by maximization. Considering alternative optimizations of the mentioned measures, one can define other quantifiers. In particular, Mundarain and Ladrón de Guevara introduced local available quantum correlations (LAQC, $\mathcal{L}$) in terms of the complementary local bases to the ones defining the least classically correlated state. That is, they characterize LAQC by defining the optimal bases as those that minimize the classical correlations measure. This type of quantum correlation is closely related to an entanglement activation protocol proposed by Piani et al. In previous articles, we derived an exact solution for the LAQC measure for 2-qubit X states. Based on these previous results and methodology, we determine the corresponding exact analytical expression for $Q^s$ of 2-qubit X states. We then analyze the behavior of these two measures for two non-Markovian quantum dephasing channels: Random Telegraph (RT) and Modified Ornstein-Uhlenbeck (MOU) noises. We derive general conditions for sudden death and revival of these measures in X states and illustrate these results with four families of bipartite qubit states: Werner states, Maximally Nonlocal Mixed States (MNMS), Maximally Entangled Mixed States (MEMS), and a mixed symmetric separable state.

Separability criteria via sets of mutually unbiased measurements

Lu Liu, Ting Gao, Fengli Yan

Mutually unbiased measurements (MUMs) are generalized from the concept of mutually unbiased bases (MUBs) and include the complete set of MUBs as a special case, but they are superior to MUBs as they do not need to be rank one projectors. We investigate entanglement detection using sets of MUMs and derive separability criteria for multipartite qudit systems, arbitrary high-dimensional bipartite systems of a d1-dimensional subsystem and a d2-dimensional subsystem, and multipartite systems of multi-level subsystems. These criteria are of the advantages of more effective and wider application range than previous criteria. They provide experimental implementation in detecting entanglement of unknown quantum states.

Genuine multipartite entanglement detection with mutually unbiased bases

Sumit Nandi

Abstract In the present paper, a novel framework to detect genuine multipartite entanglement (GME) has been presented by computing correlations in mutually unbiased bases (MUBs). It has been shown that correlation obtained by measuring in MUBs of all biseparable multipartite states satisfy a bound, whereas GME states violate it. Thus, the presented framework turns out to be a sufficient criterion to detect entanglement in a many-body scenario. The methodology paves a suitable way to demonstrate certification of different classes of tripartite and quadripartite GME states. In addition to its operational universality, correlation obtained by measuring in MUBs is shown to be juxtaposed with some well-known genuine tripartite and quadripartite entanglement measures.

Entanglement detection using mutually unbiased measurements

Bin Chen, Teng Ma, Shao-Ming Fei

We study entanglement detection by using mutually unbiased measurements and provide a quantum separability criterion that can be experimentally implemented for arbitrary $d$-dimensional bipartite systems. We show that this criterion is more effective than the criterion based on mutually unbiased bases. For isotropic states our criterion becomes both necessary and sufficient.

High-dimensional entanglement witnessed by correlations in arbitrary bases

Nicky Kai Hong Li, Marcus Huber, Nicolai Friis

Certifying entanglement is an important step in the development of many quantum technologies, especially for higher-dimensional systems, where entanglement promises increased capabilities for quantum communication and computation. A key feature distinguishing entanglement from classical correlations is the occurrence of correlations for complementary measurement bases. In particular, mutually unbiased bases (MUBs) are a paradigmatic example that is well-understood and routinely employed for entanglement certification. However, implementing unbiased measurements exactly is challenging and not generically possible for all physical platforms. Here, we extend the entanglement-certification toolbox from correlations in MUBs to arbitrary bases. This practically significant simplification paves the way for efficient characterizations of high-dimensional entanglement in a wide range of physical systems. Furthermore, we introduce a simple three-MUBs construction for all dimensions without using the Wootters-Fields construction, potentially simplifying experimental requirements when measurements in more than two MUBs are needed, especially in high-dimensional settings.
