General monogamy equalities of complementarity relation and distributive entanglement for multi-qubit pure states

Abstract

Abstract In this paper, we determine the complementarity relations for pure quantum states of N qubits by presenting the definition of local and non-local forms. By comparing the entanglement monogamy equality proposed by Coffman, Kundu, and Wootters, we prove that there exist strict monogamy laws for quantum correlations in all many-qubit systems. Further, the proper form of general entanglement monogamy equality for arbitrary quantum states is found with the characterization of total quantum correlation of qubits. These results may open a new window for multi-qubit entanglement.

A monogamy equalities of complementarity relation and distribute entanglement for multi-qubit pure states

Xin-Wei Zha, Yanpeng Zhang

We propose a method to detect genuine quantum correlation for multi-qubit pure states. We then derive a complementarity relations for pure quantum states of N qubits. We prove that in all many-qubit systems there exist strict monogamy laws for quantum correlations. On the other hand, it is known that the entanglement monogamy equality proposed by Coffman, Kundu, and Wootters is in general not true for multiqubit states. Inducing from the CKW equality, we find a proper form of entanglement monogamy equality for arbitrary quantum states. The total quantum correlation of qubit k with the remaining qubits Rk can be characterizes. Furthermore, the quantum correlation of qubit mn with the remaining qubits Rmn can also be obtained. Furthermore, some monogamy relations have been obtained.

Generalized monogamy linear entropy relations for multi-qubit pure states

Xin-Wei Zha, Irfan Ahmed, Da Zhang +1 more

Abstract Monogamy of entanglement is an interesting property discovered recently in the context of multi-qubit entanglement. Here, we present a new kind of monogamous relations for pure quantum states of N qubits. By comparing the entanglement monogamy equality proposed by Coffman, Kundu, and Wootters, we prove that there exists a strict triangle relation for the three-qubit system. Since the entropy defines the entanglement of a pure state of a pair of quantum systems; therefore, using linear entropy, we conjecture that there is a polygon relation of many-qubit systems. We also formalize the general triangle relation for the three-qubit system.

General Monogamy Inequality for Bipartite Qubit Entanglement

Tobias J. Osborne, Frank Verstraete

We consider multipartite states of qubits and prove that their bipartite quantum entanglement, as quantified by the concurrence, satisfies a monogamy inequality conjectured by Coffman, Kundu, and Wootters. We relate this monogamy inequality to the concept of frustration of correlations in quantum spin systems.

Possibility of generalized monogamy relations for multipartite entanglement beyond three qubits

Christopher Eltschka, Andreas Osterloh, Jens Siewert

We discuss the possibility to interpret the residual entanglement for more than three qubits in terms of distributed multipartite entanglement or, in other words, possible extensions of the Coffman-Kundu-Wootters monogamy equality to higher qubit numbers. Existing knowledge on entanglement in multipartite systems puts narrow constraints on the form of such extensions. We study various examples for families of pure four-qubit states for which the characterization of three-qubit and four-qubit entanglement in terms of polynomial invariants is known. These examples indicate that, although families with such extensions do exist, a generalized monogamy equality cannot be found along those lines.

Monogamy Equalities for Qubit Entanglement from Lorentz Invariance

Christopher Eltschka, Jens Siewert

A striking result from nonrelativistic quantum mechanics is the monogamy of entanglement, which states that a particle can be maximally entangled only with one other party, not with several ones. While there is the exact quantitative relation for three qubits and also several inequalities describing monogamy properties, it is not clear to what extent exact monogamy relations are a general feature of quantum mechanics. We prove that in all many-qubit systems there exist strict monogamy laws for quantum correlations. They come about through the curious relationship between the nonrelativistic quantum mechanics of qubits and Minkowski space. We elucidate the origin of entanglement monogamy from this symmetry perspective and provide recipes to construct new families of such equalities.

Generalized product-form monogamy relations in multi-qubit systems

Wen Zhou, Zhong-Xi Shen, Hong-Xing Wu +2 more

Monogamy of entanglement essentially characterizes the entanglement distributions among the subsystems. Generally it is given by summation-form monogamy inequalities. In this paper, we present the product-form monogamy inequalities satisfied by the $ν$-th ($ν\geq2$) power of the concurrence. We show that they are tighter than the existing ones by detailed example. We then establish tighter product-form monogamy inequalities based on the negativity. We show that they are valid even for high dimensional states to which the well-known CKW inequality is violated.
