Abstract

Summary. A simple derivation of finite Schmidt decomposition of pure states describing finite dimensional systems interacting with the infinite dimensional ones is presented. In particular, maximally entangled pure states in such systems are being characterized. The concept of mixed-pure states has been introduced and some criterions for checking separability and entanglement of them are presented .The notion of LOCC equivalence and LOCC semi-order on the space of pure states of systems analyzed has been adopted suitably. In particular a Nielsen -like theorem has been extended to the pure (d, infinity )- states case. The notion of spin-orbit entanglement in the context of atomic physics is being discussed from a mathematical perspective. Keywords: quantum entanglement, Schmidt decomposition, mixed-pure states, LOCC semi-order, spin-orbit entanglement

LOCC convertibility of entangled states in infinite-dimensional systems

César Massri, Guido Bellomo, Héctor Freytes +3 more

Abstract We advance on the conversion of bipartite quantum states via local operations and classical communication (LOCC) for infinite-dimensional systems. We introduce δ-LOCC convertibility based on the observation that any pure state can be approximated by a state with finite-support Schmidt coefficients. We show that δ-LOCC convertibility of bipartite states is fully characterized by a majorization relation between the sequences of squared Schmidt coefficients, providing a novel extension of Nielsen’s theorem for infinite-dimensional systems. Hence, our definition is equivalent to the one of ε-LOCC convertibility (Owari et al 2008 Quantum Inf. Comput. 8 0030), but deals with states having finitely supported sequences of Schmidt coefficients. Additionally, we discuss the notions of optimal common resource and optimal common product in this scenario. The optimal common product always exists, whereas the optimal common resource depends on the existence of a common resource. This highlights a distinction between the resource-theoretic aspects of finite versus infinite-dimensional systems. Our results rely on the order-theoretic properties of majorization for infinite sequences, applicable beyond the LOCC convertibility problem.

Entanglement and Separability

Reinhold A. Bertlmann, Nicolai Friis

Abstract This chapter gives a detailed overview of entanglement for pure and mixed states. We begin with the Schmidt-decomposition theorem, which allows us to associate the subsystem mixedness of pure state with entanglement. We discuss the purification of mixed quantum states, the convexity of the set of separable states, and entanglement as a form of correlation. As an example we examine the Bloch decomposition for two qubits. For the detection of entanglement the Peres-Horodecki criterion is introduced, before we analyse the relation between entanglement and non-locality via the CHSH-Operator Criterion and the family of Werner states. We further consider Tsirelson’s bound and hidden non-locality. We then discuss important mathematical tools for entanglement detection, including the positive-map theorem, the Størmer-Woronowicz theorem, and the reduction criterion. In this context we examine the family of isotropic states. Finally, the Weyl states provide an example for which we study the geometry of two-qubit entanglement

Extending Schmidt vector from pure to mixed states for characterizing entanglement

F. Meroi, Marcelo Losada, G. M. Bosyk

In this study, we enhance the understanding of entanglement transformations and their quantification by extending the concept of Schmidt vector from pure to mixed bipartite states, exploiting the lattice structure of majorization. The Schmidt vector of a bipartite mixed state is defined using two distinct methods: as a concave roof extension of Schmidt vectors of pure states, or equivalently, from the set of pure states that can be transformed into the mixed state through local operations and classical communication (LOCC). We demonstrate that the Schmidt vector fully characterized separable and maximally entangled states. Furthermore, we prove that the Schmidt vector is monotonic and strongly monotonic under LOCC, giving necessary conditions for conversions between mixed states. Additionally, we extend the definition of the Schmidt rank from pure states to mixed states as the cardinality of the support of the Schmidt vector and show that it is equal to the Schmidt number introduced in previous work [Terhal and Horodecki, Phys. Rev. A 61, 040301(R) (2000)]. Finally, we introduce a family of entanglement monotones by considering concave and symmetric functions applied to the Schmidt vector.

Quantifying the dimensionality of multiparticle entanglement via partition rank

Sophia Denker, Ismaël Septembre, Robin Krebs +1 more

The usefulness of entanglement as a resource in quantum technologies increases for larger systems, that is, if more particles or higher-dimensional quantum systems are considered. Yet, the interplay between dimensionality and multiparticle entanglement is not well understood. Only for two-particle systems an unambiguous and coherent notion of entanglement dimensionality, based on the Schmidt decomposition, is known. We introduce a concept to characterize the entanglement dimensionality of multiparticle states based on decompositions of pure states into superpositions of states without genuine multiparticle entanglement. We provide constructive methods to characterize the resulting partition rank for pure and mixed states. This allows the identification of novel maximally correlated states as well as a discrete classification of quantum states under stochastic local operations and classical communication. From a mathematical perspective, our approach can be formulated in terms of the slice rank and partition rank of tensors and our results allow to characterize these by connecting them to a generalized injective tensor norm.

Formulas for Schmidt decompositions of mutually orthogonal quantum states in two-qubit systems

Yonghae Lee, Youngho Min, Sunghyun Bae +1 more

Abstract We present Schmidt decomposition formulas for mutually orthogonal two-qubit pure states and classify orthonormal sets according to their entanglement structure. We begin by presenting explicit formulas for the Schmidt decomposition of arbitrary two-qubit pure states. Building on this, we construct and analyze all possible configurations of two mutually orthogonal pure states, providing corresponding Schmidt decomposition expressions for each case. For orthonormal sets of three and four states, we derive explicit formulas for selected representative types and discuss the difficulties in obtaining closed-form expressions for more general cases. In particular, we focus on special classes of orthonormal bases that include one or two maximally entangled states. Finally, we prove that no orthonormal basis can contain three product states and one entangled state, revealing a structural constraint that restricts the composition of entangled orthonormal sets.
