Generalized concurrence and partial transpose for pure continuous variable systems of arbitrary degrees of freedom using Lagrange's identity and wedge product

Abstract

Concurrence, introduced by Hill and Wootters [Phys. Rev. Lett. 78, 5022 (1997)], provides an important measure of entanglement for a general pair of qubits that is strictly positive for entangled states and vanishing for all separable states. We present an extension of concurrence to general continuous variable pure states of multiple degrees of freedom by generalizing the Lagrange's identity and wedge product framework proposed by Bhaskara et al. [Quantum Inf. Process. 16, 118 (2017)] for pure discrete variable systems in arbitrary dimensions. A family of faithful entanglement measures, of which concurrence is a member, is constructed that admit necessary and sufficient conditions for separability across arbitrary bipartitions, which is shown as a particular invariance with connections to the partial transpose, uncovering an inherent geometry of entanglement. This framework may be useful for the further extensions to mixed states and entanglement in quantum field theories.

Generalized entanglement measure for continuous-variable systems

The computed entanglement measure in the present approach for general Gaussian states, pair-coherent states, and non-Gaussian continuous-variable Bell states matches with known results. We also quantify entanglement of phase-randomized squeezed states and superposition of squeezed states. Our results also simplify several results in quantum entanglement theory.

Entanglement Measure and Geometric Approach to a Seperability Problem

C. Bangarusai, Supervisor Prof. Prasanta K. Panigrahi

Concurrence provided an important measure of entanglement for general pair of qubits, which is strictly positive for entangled states and vanishing all for separable states. We present an extension of concurrence to multiparticle pure states using the Lagrange’s identity and wedge product representation, which coincides with ‘I-concurrence’ by extending the spin-flip operator to a so-called universal inverter superoperator. This framework may be useful for the extension to mixed and continuous variable systems.

Two-parameter bipartite entanglement measure

Chen-Ming Bai, Yu Luo

Entanglement concurrence is an important bipartite entanglement measure that has found wide applications in quantum technologies. In this work, inspired by unified entropy, we introduce a two-parameter family of entanglement measures, referred to as the unified $(q,s)$-concurrence. Both the standard entanglement concurrence and the recently proposed $q$-concurrence emerge as special cases within this family. By combining the positive partial transposition and realignment criteria, we derive an analytical lower bound for this measure for arbitrary bipartite mixed states, revealing a connection to strong separability criteria. Explicit expressions are obtained for the unified $(q,s)$-concurrence in the cases of isotropic and Werner states under the constraint $q>1$ and $qs\geq 1$. Furthermore, we explore the monogamy properties of the unified $(q,s)$-concurrence for $q\geq 2$, $0\leq s\leq 1$ and $1\leq qs\leq 3$, in qubit systems. In addition, we derive an entanglement polygon inequality for the unified $(q,s)$-concurrence with $q\geq 1$ and $qs\geq 1$, which manifests the relationship among all the marginal entanglements in any multipartite qudit system.

Quantum entanglement measure based on wedge product

Hoshang Heydari

We construct an entanglement measure that coincides with the generalized concurrence for a general pure bipartite state based on wedge product. Moreover, we construct an entanglement measure for pure multi-qubit states, which are entanglement monotones. Furthermore, we generalize our result on a general pure multipartite state.

Classification and quantification of entanglement through wedge product and geometry

Soumik Mahanti, Sagnik Dutta, Prasanta Kumar Panigrahi

Abstract The wedge product of post-measurement vectors of a two-qubit state gives rise to a parallelogram, whose ‘area’ has been shown to be equivalent to the generalized I-concurrence measure of entanglement. In multi-qudit systems, the wedge product of post-measurement vectors naturally leads to a higher dimensional parallelepiped which yields a modified faithful entanglement measure. Our new measure fine grains the entanglement monotone, wherein different entangled classes manifest with different geometries. We present a complete analysis of the bipartite qutrit case considering all possible geometric structures where three entanglement classes of pure bipartite qutrit states can be identified with different geometries of post-measurement vectors: three planar vectors; three mutually orthogonal vectors; and three vectors that are neither planar and not all of them are mutually orthogonal. It is further demonstrated that the geometric condition of area and volume maximization naturally leads to the maximization of entanglement. The wedge product approach uncovers an inherent geometry of entanglement and is found to be very useful for the characterization and quantification of entanglement in higher dimensional systems.
