Entangling capacity and distinguishability of two-qubit unitary operators

Anthony Chefles

We prove that the entangling capacity of a two-qubit unitary operator without local ancillas, both with and without the restriction to initial product states, as quantified by the maximum attainable concurrence, is directly related to the distinguishability of a closely related pair of two-qubit unitary operators. These operators are the original operator transformed into its canonical form and the adjoint of this canonical form. The distinguishability of these operators is quantified by the minimum overlap of the output states over all possible input probe states. The entangling capacity of the original unitary operator is therefore directly related to the degree of non-Hermiticity of its canonical form, as quantified in an operationally satisfactory manner in terms of the extent to which it can be distinguished, by measurement, from its adjoint. Furthermore, the maximum entropy of entanglement, again without local ancillas, that a given two-qubit unitary operator can generate is found to be closely related to the classical capacities of certain quantum channels.

Relation between classical communication capacity and entanglement capability for two-qubit unitary operations

Dominic William Berry, Barry C. Sanders

Two-qubit operations may be characterized by their capacities for communication, both with and without free entanglement, and their capacity for creating entanglement. We establish a set of inequalities that give an ordering to the capacities of two-qubit unitary operations. Specifically, we show that the capacities for entanglement creation and bidirectional communication without entanglement assistance are at least as great as half the bidirectional communication capacity with entanglement assistance. In addition, we show that the bidirectional communication that can be performed using an ensemble may be increased via a two-qubit unitary operation by twice the operation's capacity for entanglement.
