Permutations and quantum entanglement
Dariusz Chruściński, Andrzej Kossakowski
Abstract
We construct a large class of quantum d⊗d states which are positive under partial transposition (so called PPT states). The construction is based on certain direct sum decomposition of the total Hilbert space which is governed by by cyclic permutation from the symmetric group Sd-i. It turns out that partial transposition maps any such decomposition into another one corresponding to 'complementary' permutation. This class contains many well known examples of PPT states from the literature and gives rise to a huge family of completely new states.
