Concurrence of mixed quantum states in multi-partite systems

Published Nov 18, 2004• 0 citations

Abstract

We propose generalizations of concurrence for multi-partite quantum systems that can distinguish qualitatively distinct quantum correlations. All introduced quantities can be evaluated efficiently for arbitrary mixed sates.

Concurrence in arbitrary dimensions

Piotr Badziąg, Piotr Deuar, Michał Horodecki +2 more

We argue that a complete characterisation of quantum correlations in bipartite systems of many dimensions may require a quantity which, even for pure states, does not reduce to a single number. Subsequently, we introduce multi-dimensional generalizations of concurrence and find evidence that they may provide useful tools for the analysis of quantum correlations in mixed bipartite states. We also introudce {\\it biconcurrence} that leads to a necessary and sufficient condition for separability.

Estimation of concurrence for multipartite mixed states

Xiaoting Gao, S.-M. Fei

We investigate the lower bound of concurrence for multipartite quantum mixed states. Analytical lower bounds are derived for some multipartite systems, by establishing functional relations between concurrence and the generalized partial transpositions.

k-separability criterion of mixed multipartite quantum states

Ting Gao, Yan Hong

The $k$-separability of mixed $n$-partite ($n\geq 3$) 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.

Quantum entanglement: geometric quantification and applications to multi-partite states and quantum phase transitions

Tzu-Chieh Wei

The degree to which a pure quantum state is entangled can be characterized by the distance or angle to the nearest unentangled state. This geometric measure of entanglement is explored for bi-partite and multi-partite pure and mixed states. It is determined analytically for arbitrary two-qubit mixed states, generalized Werner, and isotropic states, and is also applied to certain multi-partite mixed states, including two distinct multi-partite bound entangled states. Moreover, the ground-state entanglement of the XY model in a transverse field is calculated and shown to exhibit singular behavior near the quantum critical line. Along the way, connections are pointed out between the geometric measure of entanglement, the Hartree approximation, entanglement witnesses, correlation functions, and the relative entropy of entanglement.

The kkk-separability of mixed nnn-partite (n≥3n\geq 3n≥3) quantum states is mainly discussed in this paper. We obtain practical kkk-separability criteria to identify kkk-nonseparable mixed multipartite states in arbitrary dimensional quantum systems and detect genuine nnn-partite entanglement (k=2k=2k=2) and entanglement (k=3k=3k=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.
