Separability Criteria Based on the Weyl Operators

Abstract

Entanglement as a vital resource for information processing can be described by special properties of the quantum state. Using the well-known Weyl basis we propose a new Bloch decomposition of the quantum state and study its separability problem. This decomposition enables us to find an alternative characterization of the separability based on the correlation matrix. We show that the criterion is effective in detecting entanglement for the isotropic states, Bell-diagonal states and some PPT entangled states. We also use the Weyl operators to construct an detecting operator for quantum teleportation.

Separability criteria based on Heisenberg–Weyl representation of density matrices

Jingmei Chang, Meiyu Cui, Tinggui Zhang +1 more

Separability is an important problem in theory of quantum entanglement. By using the Bloch representation of quantum states in terms of the Heisenberg–Weyl observable basis, we present a new separability criterion for bipartite quantum systems. It is shown that this criterion can be better than the previous ones in detecting entanglement. The results are generalized to multipartite quantum states.

Separability Criteria Combined with Local Filtering Transformation Based on the Bloch Representation

Wenli Wu, Zhaofeng Su

Quantum properties, such as entanglement and coherence, are indispensable resources in various quantum information processing tasks. However, given a quantum state, it is not a simple question to identify whether it is entangled or not. We study the entanglement of quantum systems in arbitrary dimensions using the Bloch representation of density matrix. This approach enables us to consider quantum entanglement geometrically. We first analyze the effect of local Bloch vector on determining whether a quantum state is entangled or separable, and obtain an entanglement criterion related to local Bloch vector, which is stronger than the criterion that only considers the correlation matrix. This criterion is equivalent to the optimized computable cross norm criterion in [14]. Our proof is considered from the perspective of Bloch representation, and there is no need to know the matrix relignment in advance. This criterion also be extended to the problem of the separability of tripartite quantum states. We then combine the local filtering transformation with this entanglement criterion. After applying a suitable local filtering transformation, the quantum state has at most one nonzero Bloch vector, and examples are given to illustrate that the local filtering transformation can help detect some bound states where the original entanglement criterion fails. Moreover, for a finite-dimensional quantum system in which one party is a qubit, we give an analytical form of the combined entanglement criterion.

Combo separability criteria and lower bound on concurrence

S. M. Zangi, Jiansheng Wu, Cong‐Feng Qiao

Abstract Detection and quantification of entanglement are extremely important in quantum information theory. We can extract information by using the spectrum or singular values of the density operator. The correlation matrix norm deals with the concept of quantum entanglement in a mathematically natural way. In this work, we use Ky Fan norm of the Bloch matrix to investigate the disentanglement of quantum states. Our separability criterion not only unifies some well-known criteria but also leads to a better lower bound on concurrence. We explain with an example how the entanglement of the given state is missed by existing criteria but can be detected by our criterion. The proposed lower bound on concurrence also has advantages over some investigated bounds.

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

Quantum separable criterion based on characteristic function

CHEN XiaoYu, JIANG LiZhen

Entanglement is the most important feature of quantum information science and it is closely related to the foundation of quantum mechanics. To determine a given bipartite quantum state to be entangled or not is by no means easy. We propose a separable criterion for bipartite quantum states based on their characteristic function or characteristic matrix. We use local filtering transform and local rotation transform to simplify the characteristic matrix, while keeping the positivity and entanglement property of the quantum state invariant. The development of Heisenberg-Weyl matrix basis makes the transforms possible. The local transforms greatly reduce the number of none-zero elements of characteristic matrix. The new criterion of separability then is constructed on the none-zero elements. We compare the entanglement detecting properties of our criterion with realignment criterion and modified correlation matrix criterion on $3\times~3$ bound entangled states. It is shown that our criterion is better than realignment criterion for most of the states.
