Abstract

A scheme for characterizing entanglement using the statistical measure of correlation given by the Pearson correlation coefficient (PCC) was recently suggested that has remained unexplored beyond the qubit case. Towards the application of this scheme for the high-dimensional states, a key step has been taken in a very recent work by experimentally determining PCC and analytically relating it to Negativity for quantifying entanglement of the empirically produced bipartite pure state of spatially correlated photonic qutrits. Motivated by this work, we present here a comprehensive study of the efficacy of such an entanglement characterizing scheme for a range of bipartite qutrit states by considering suitable combinations of PCCs based on a limited number of measurements. For this purpose, we investigate the issue of necessary and sufficient certification together with quantification of entanglement for the two-qutrit states comprising maximally entangled state mixed with white noise and colored noise in two different forms, respectively. Further, by considering these classes of states for $d=4$ and 5, extension of this PCC-based approach for higher dimensions ($d$) is discussed.

Entanglement certification and quantification in spatial-bin photonic qutrits

Debadrita Ghosh, Thomas D. Jennewein, Urbasi Sinha

Higher dimensional quantum systems are an important avenue for new explorations in quantum computing as well as quantum communications. One of the ubiquitous resources in quantum technologies is entanglement. However, so far, entanglement has been certified in higher dimensional systems through suitable bounds on known entanglement measures. In this work, we have, for the first time, quantified the amount of entanglement in bi-partite pure qutrit states by analytically relating statistical correlation measures and known measures of entanglement, and have determined the amount of entanglement in our experimentally generated spatially correlated bi-partite qutrit system. We obtain the value of Negativity in our bi-partite qutrit to be 0.85 +/- 0.03 and the Entanglement of Formation(EOF) to be 1.23 +/- 0.01. In terms of quantifying the deviation from the maximally entangled state, the Negativity value demonstrates ~15 % deviation while the EOF value demonstrates ~24 % deviation. This serves as the first experimental evidence of such non-equivalence of entanglement measures for higher dimensional systems.

Direct determination of arbitrary dimensional entanglement monotones using statistical correlators and minimal complementary measurements

Debadrita Ghosh, Thomas D. Jennewein, Urbasi Sinha

Abstract Higher dimensional quantum systems (qudits) present a potentially more efficient means, compared to qubits, for implementing various information theoretic tasks. One of the ubiquitous resources in such explorations is entanglement. Entanglement monotones (EMs) are of key importance, particularly for assessing the efficacy of a given entangled state as a resource for information theoretic tasks. Till date, investigations towards determination of EMs have focused on providing their tighter lower bounds. There is yet no general scheme available for direct determination of the EMs. Consequently, an empirical determination of any EM has not yet been achieved for entangled qudit states. The present paper fills this gap, both theoretically as well as experimentally. First, we derive analytical relations between statistical correlation measures i.e. mutual predictability (MP), mutual information (MI) and Pearson correlation coefficient (PCC) and standard EMs i.e. negativity (N) and entanglement of formation (EOF) in arbitrary dimensions. As a proof of concept, we then experimentally measure MP, MI and PCC of two-qutrit pure states and determine their N and EOF using these derived relations. This is a useful addition to the experimenter’s toolkit wherein by using a limited number of measurements (in this case 1 set of measurements), one can directly measure the EMs in a bipartite arbitrary dimensional system. We obtain the value of N for our bipartite qutrit to be 0.907 ± 0.013 and the EOF to be 1.323 ± 0.022. Since the present scheme enables determination of more than one EM by the same limited number of measurements, we argue that it can serve as a unique experimental platform for quantitatively comparing and contrasting the operational implications of EMs as well as showing their non-monotonicity for a given bipartite pure qudit state.

High-dimensional entanglement certification: bounding relative entropy of entanglement in $2d+1$ experiment-friendly measurements

Alexandria J. Moore, Andrew M. Weiner

Entanglement -- the coherent correlations between parties in a joint quantum system -- is well-understood and quantifiable in the two-dimensional, two-party case. Higher (>2)-dimensional entangled systems hold promise in extending the capabilities of various quantum information applications. Despite the utility of such systems, methods for quantifying high-dimensional entanglement are more limited and experimentally challenging. We review entanglement certification approaches and the large number of -- often difficult -- measurements required to apply them. We present a novel certification method whose measurement requirements scale linearly with subsystem dimension (scaling with the square-root of the system dimension) and which requires only a single complex measurement. The certification method places a lower-bound on the relative entropy of entanglement of any maximally correlated state thereby certifying system entanglement. A lower bound is also shown for any maximally correlated state in the presence of noise -- the expected experimental case. We discuss experimental realization of all required measurements.

Direct determination of entanglement monotones for arbitrary dimensional bipartite states using statistical correlators and one set of complementary measurements

High-dimensional entanglement certification

Zixin Huang, Lorenzo Maccone, Akib Karim +3 more

Quantum entanglement is the ability of joint quantum systems to possess global properties (correlation among systems) even when subsystems have no definite individual property. Whilst the 2-dimensional (qubit) case is well-understood, currently, tools to characterise entanglement in high dimensions are limited. We experimentally demonstrate a new procedure for entanglement certification that is suitable for large systems, based entirely on information-theoretics. It scales more efficiently than Bell's inequality and entanglement witness. The method we developed works for arbitrarily large system dimension d and employs only two local measurements of complementary properties. This procedure can also certify whether the system is maximally entangled. We illustrate the protocol for families of bipartite states of qudits with dimension up to 32 composed of polarisation-entangled photon pairs.
