Abstract

Entanglement, quantum steering, and nonlocality are distinct quantum correlations which are the resources behind various quantum information and quantum computation applications. However, a central question of determining the precise quantitative relation among them is still unresolved. Here we present a mapping criterion between Bell nonlocality and quantum steering in the bipartite qudit-qubit system, as well as a mapping criterion between quantum steering and quantum entanglement in the bipartite qubit-qudit system, starting from the fundamental concepts of quantum correlations. Precise quantitative mapping criteria are derived analytically. Such mapping criteria are independent of the form of the state. In particular, they cover several previous well-known research results which are only special cases in our simple mapping criteria.

Computable steering criterion for bipartite quantum systems

Guo‐Zhu Pan, Jun‐Long Zhao, Zhi Lin +3 more

Quantum steering describes the ability of one observer to nonlocally affect the other observer's state through local measurements, which represents a new form of quantum nonlocal correlation and has potential applications in quantum information and quantum communication. In this paper, we propose a computable steering criterion that is applicable to bipartite quantum systems of arbitrary dimensions. The criterion can be used to verify a wide range of steerable states directly from a given density matrix without constructing measurement settings. Compared with the existing steering criteria, it is readily computable and testable in experiment, which can also be used to verify entanglement as all steerable quantum states are entangled.

Inequality relations for the hierarchy of quantum correlations in two-qubit systems

Xiao‐Gang Fan, Fa Zhao, Huan Yang +3 more

Entanglement, quantum steering and Bell nonlocality can be used to describe the distinct quantum correlations of quantum systems. Because of their different characteristics and application fields, how to divide them quantitatively and accurately becomes particularly important. Based on the sufficient and necessary criterion for quantum steering of an arbitrary two-qubit T-state, we derive the inequality relations between quantum steering and entanglement as well as between quantum steering and Bell nonlocality for the T-state. Additionally, we have verified those relations experimentally.

Steerability of Rank-2 Two-Qubit Entangled States

Yu-Xuan Zhang, Jing-Ling Chen

Quantum nonlocality is an essential resource in quantum information and is commonly classified into three distinct forms: quantum entanglement, Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) steering, and Bell's nonlocality. Gisin's theorem shows that pure-state entanglement implies Bell nonlocality, and it motivates the question of how entanglement and EPR steering are related beyond pure states. Here we prove that every entangled rank-2 two-qubit state is EPR steerable, with rank-1 states included as a special case. The proof combines a local-unitary parametrization of rank-2 two-qubit states, a necessary and sufficient separability condition, and a state-dependent nonlinear steering inequality. This gives an analytical characterization of EPR steerability for rank-2 two-qubit entangled states. Thus, rank-2 two-qubit entangled states provide certifiable EPR-steering resources in quantum information.

Quantifying Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen steering and expanding the scope of steerability of the two qubit state

Wu Jun-jun, Shang Jia-qing, Li-zhen Jiang

EPR steering is a form of bipartite quantum correlation that is intermediate between entanglement and Bell nonlocality. It is detected via the violation of steering inequalities, which provide sufficient conditions for the steerability of quantum states. Furthermore, there is a sufficient criterion for guaranteeing that a two-qubit state is unsteerable. But there are some two qubit states that can not determine the steerability of the steering inequality and the sufficient criteria. Here we introduce a way of quantifying this phenomenon and use it to study the steerability of two qubit states. This article recommend a platonic solid measurement schemes. And then discuss the problem, namely expanding the scope of steerable, which guarantees that the state is steerable.

Detecting Tripartite Steering via Quantum Entanglement

Zhihua Chen, Shao-Ming Fei

Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen steering is a kind of powerful nonlocal quantum resource in quantum information processing such as quantum cryptography and quantum communication. Many criteria have been proposed in the past few years to detect steerability, both analytically and numerically, for bipartite quantum systems. We propose effective criteria for tripartite steerability and genuine tripartite steerability of three-qubit quantum states by establishing connections between the tripartite steerability (resp. genuine tripartite steerability) and the tripartite entanglement (resp. genuine tripartite entanglement) of certain corresponding quantum states. From these connections, tripartite steerability and genuine tripartite steerability can be detected without using any steering inequalities. The "complex cost" of determining tripartite steering and genuine tripartite steering can be reduced by detecting the entanglement of the newly constructed states in the experiment. Detailed examples are given to illustrate the power of our criteria in detecting the (genuine) tripartite steerability of tripartite states.

Steerability criteria based on Heisenberg–Weyl observables

Le-Min Lai, Shunlong Luo

Abstract Einstein–Podolsky–Rosen (EPR) steering is an intermediate form of nonlocality which interpolates between entanglement and Bell nonlocality. It has been shown that EPR steerable states are fundamental resources for one-sided device-independent quantum information tasks. Nevertheless, distinguishing quantum steerable states from the unsteerable ones in general cases remains a big challenge under active studies. The generalized Bloch representation of density matrices in terms of the Heisenberg observables is a useful tool for analyzing characteristics of quantum systems and plays an important role in quantum information. In this work, the role of this representation in detection of EPR steering is studied. More specifically, based on the correlation matrices of the Heisenberg–Weyl observables, a family of steerability criteria for arbitrary dimensional bipartite systems are proposed. A large class of Hermitian operators, which can conveniently witness steering in some scenarios, are further provided. Finally, these criteria are illustrated through several examples, are compared with some existing ones, and their power and advantages are exhibited in certain cases.
