The separability of mixed states in multipartite quantum systems is investigated. If a quantum state in a multipartite system with an arbitrary dimension is separable, some quantity in relation to Hermitian matrix is positive.
The k-separability of mixed n-partite (n≥3) quantum states is mainly discussed in this paper. We obtain practical k-separability criteria to identify k-nonseparable mixed multipartite states in arbitrary dimensional quantum systems and detect genuine n-partite entanglement (k=2) and entanglement (k=3) which have previously not been identified. No optimization or eigenvalue evaluation is needed, our criteria can be evaluated by simple computations involving components of the density matrix and can be implemented in today's experiments.
The purpose of this paper is to obtain a sufficient and necessary condition as a criteria to test whether an arbitrary multipartite state is entangled or not. Based on the tensor expression of a multipartite pure state, the paper shows that a state is separable iff $| \mathbf{C}(ρ)| $ =0 for pure states and iff C(ρ) vanishes for mixed states.
