Concurrence-based entanglement measure for Werner States

Chen, K, Sergio A Albeverio, Fei, S M

Published Jan 1, 2007• 17 citations

Abstract

We give explicit expressions for entanglement measures of Werner states in arbitrary dimensions in terms of concurrence and tangle. We show that an optimal ensemble decomposition for a joint density matrix of a Werner state can achieve the minimum average concurrence and tangle simultaneously. Furthermore, the same decomposition also attains entanglement of formation for Werner states.

Concurrence-based entanglement measures for isotropic states

Pranaw Rungta, Carlton M. Caves

We discuss properties of entanglement measures called I-concurrence and tangle. For a bipartite pure state, I-concurrence and tangle are simply related to the purity of the marginal density operators. The I-concurrence (tangle) of a bipartite mixed state is the minimum average I-concurrence (tangle) of ensemble decompositions of pure states of the joint density operator. Terhal and Vollbrecht [Phys. Rev. Lett. 85, 2625 (2000)] have given an explicit formula for the entanglement of formation of isotropic states in arbitrary dimensions. We use their formalism to derive comparable expressions for the I-concurrence and tangle of isotropic states.

Entanglement of formation from optimal decomposition

Limei Chen, Y.-X. Chen

We present a new method of constructing sets of states with known entanglement of formation. The method realizes the optimal decomposition families of states. We also derive the additivity of the entanglement of formation and thus calculate the entanglement cost. These results are used to find out the undistillable entanglement of some states. We illustrate our method by investigating the two-qubit state, the separable state, the maximally correlated state, the isotropic state and the Werner state. We also discuss the realization of Werner state in experiment.

Geometric criterion for separability based on local measurement

Aryaman A. Patel, Prasanta Kumar Panigrahi

A geometric understanding of entanglement is proposed based on local measurements. Taking recourse to the general structure of density matrices in the framework of Euclidean geometry, we first illustrate our approach for bipartite Werner states. It is demonstrated that separable states satisfy certain geometric constraints that entangled states do not. A separability criterion for multiparty Werner states of arbitrary dimension is derived. This approach can be used to determine separability across any bipartition of a general density matrix and leads naturally to a computable measure of entanglement for multiparty pure states. It is known that all density matrices within a certain distance of the normalized identity are separable. This distance is determined for a general setting of $n$ qudits, each of dimension $d$.

A necessary and sufficient condition for optimal decompositions

T. Prager

An important measure of bipartite entanglement is the entanglement of formation, which is defined as the minimum average pure state entanglement of all decompositions realizing a given state. A decomposition which achieves this minimum is called an optimal decomposition. However, as for the entanglement of formation, there is not much known about the structure of such optimal decompositions, except for some special cases, like states of two qubits or isotropic states. Here we present a necessary and sufficient condition for a set of pure states of a finite dimensional bipartite system to form an optimal decomposition. This condition is well suited to treat the question, whether the entanglement of formation is additive or not.

Parameterized bipartite entanglement measure

Zhi-Wei Wei, Shao-Ming Fei

Abstract We propose a novel parameterized entanglement measure α -concurrence for bipartite systems. By employing positive partial transposition and realignment criteria, we derive analytical lower bounds for the α -concurrence. Moreover, we calculate explicitly the analytic expressions of the α -concurrence for isotropic states and Werner states.
