Approximation of multipartite quantum states: revised version with new applications

Abstract

An universal approximation technique for analysis of different characteristics of states of composite infinite-dimensional quantum systems is proposed and used to prove general results concerning the properties of correlation and entanglement measures in such systems. Then these results are applied to the study of three important characteristics: the relative entropy of $π$-entanglement, the Rains bound (the unregularized and regularized versions of both characteristics are considered) and the conditional entanglement of mutual information. In particular, we analyse continuity and convexity properties of the above entanglement measures, prove several results simplifying their definitions and establish a finite-dimensional approximation property for these characteristics that allows us to generalize to the infinite-dimensional case the results proved in the finite-dimensional settings.

Approximation of multipartite quantum states and the relative entropy of entanglement

Максим Евгеньевич Широков

Special approximation technique for analysis of different characteristics of states of multipartite infinite-dimensional quantum systems is proposed and applied to study of the relative entropy of entanglement and its regularisation. We prove several results about analytical properties of the multipartite relative entropy of entanglement and its regularization (the lower semicontinuity on wide class of states, the uniform continuity under the energy constraints, etc.). We establish a finite-dimensional approximation property for the relative entropy of entanglement and its regularization that allows to generalize to the infinite-dimensional case the results proved in the finite-dimensional settings.

On Local Continuity of Characteristics of Composite Quantum Systems

Максим Евгеньевич Широков

Abstract General methods of local continuity analysis of characteristics of infinite-dimensional composite quantum systems are considered. A new approximation technique for obtaining local continuity conditions for various characteristics of quantum systems is proposed and described in detail. This technique is used to prove several general results (a Simon-type dominated convergence theorem, a theorem on the preservation of continuity under convex mixtures, etc.). Local continuity conditions are derived for the following characteristics of composite quantum systems: the quantum conditional entropy, the quantum (conditional) mutual information, the one-way classical correlation and its regularization, the quantum discord and its regularization, the entanglement of formation and its regularization, and the constrained Holevo capacity of a partial trace and its regularization.

Uniform continuity bounds for characteristics of multipartite quantum systems

Максим Евгеньевич Широков

We consider universal methods for obtaining (uniform) continuity bounds for characteristics of multipartite quantum systems. We pay special attention to infinite-dimensional multipartite quantum systems under the energy constraints. By these methods, we obtain continuity bounds for several important characteristics of a multipartite quantum state: the quantum (conditional) mutual information, the squashed entanglement, the c-squashed entanglement, and the conditional entanglement of mutual information. The continuity bounds for the multipartite quantum mutual information are asymptotically tight for large dimension/energy. The obtained results are used to prove the asymptotic continuity of the n-partite squashed entanglement, the c-squashed entanglement, and the conditional entanglement of mutual information under the energy constraints.

On Lower Semicontinuity of the Quantum Conditional Mutual Information and Its Corollaries

Максим Евгеньевич Широков

Abstract It is shown that the recently established lower semicontinuity of the quantum conditional mutual information implies (in fact, is equivalent to) the lower semicontinuity of the loss of the quantum (conditional) mutual information under local channels considered as a function on the Cartesian product of the set of all states of a composite system and the sets of all local channels (equipped with the strong convergence topology). Some applications of this property are considered. New continuity conditions for the quantum mutual information and for the squashed entanglement in both bipartite and multipartite infinite-dimensional systems are obtained. It is proved, in particular, that the multipartite squashed entanglement of any countably indecomposable separable state with finite marginal entropies is equal to zero. Special continuity properties of the information gain of a quantum measurement with and without quantum side information are established that can be treated as robustness (stability) of these quantities with respect to perturbation of the measurement and the measured state.

Upper bounds for relative entropy of entanglement based on convex hull approximation

Shi‐Yao Hou, Chenfeng Cao, Dali Zhou +1 more

Quantifying entanglement for multipartite quantum state is a crucial task in many aspects of quantum information theory. Among all the entanglement measures, relative entropy of entanglement $E_{R}$ is an important quantity due to its clear geometric meaning, easy compatibility with different system sizes, and various applications in many other related quantity calculations. Lower bounds of $E_R$ were previously found based on distance to the set of positive partial transpose states. We propose a method to calculate upper bounds of $E_R$ based on the convex hull approximation of the set of separable states. We apply our method to calculate $E_R$ for composite systems of various sizes, and compare with the previous known lower bounds, obtaining promising results. Our method adds a new tool for entanglement measure calculation and deepens our understanding for the structure of separable states.
