INTRODUCTION TO THE BASICS OF ENTANGLEMENT THEORY IN CONTINUOUS-VARIABLE SYSTEMS
Jens Eisert, Martin Bodo Plenio
We outline the basic questions that are being studied in any theory of entanglement. Following a brief review of some of the main achievements of entanglement theory for finite-dimensional systems such as qubits, we will then consider entanglement in infinite-dimensional systems. Asking for a theory of entanglement in such systems under experimentally feasible operations leads to the development of the theory of entanglement of Gaussian states. Results of this theory are presented and the tools that have been developed for this theory are then applied to a number of problems.
