Note on Separability of the Werner states in arbitrary dimensions

Abstract

Recently, a great deal of progress has been made in proving sufficient conditions for Werner density matrices on the direct product space of n d-level systems (qudits). In this brief note we complete the process by proving the sufficient condition for general n and d.

Separability and Fourier representations of density matrices

A. O. Pittenger, Morton H. Rubin

Using the finite Fourier transform, we introduce a generalization of Pauli-spin matrices for d-dimensional spaces, and the resulting set of unitary matrices $S(d)$ is a basis for $d\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}d$ matrices. If ${N=d}_{1}\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}{d}_{2}\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}\ensuremath{\cdot}\ensuremath{\cdot}\ensuremath{\cdot}\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}{d}_{b}$ and ${H}^{[N]}=\ensuremath{\bigotimes}{H}^{[{d}_{k}]},$ we give a sufficient condition for separability of a density matrix $\ensuremath{\rho}$ relative to the ${H}^{[{d}_{k}]}$ in terms of the ${L}_{1}$ norm of the spin coefficients of $\ensuremath{\rho}.$ Since the spin representation depends on the form of the tensor product, the theory applies to both full and partial separability on a given space ${H}^{[N]}.$ It follows from this result that for a prescribed form of separability, there is always a neighborhood of the normalized identity in which every density matrix is separable. We also show that for every prime p and $n>1,$ the generalized Werner density matrix ${W}^{[{p}^{n}]}(s)$ is fully separable if and only if $s<~{(1+p}^{n\ensuremath{-}1}{)}^{\ensuremath{-}1}.$

A decomposition of separable Werner states

Razmik G. Unanyan, Hermann Kampermann, Dagmar Bruß

We derive an integral convex combination of product states for a range of separable Werner states. Our method consists of expanding the sought-after local density operators in terms of Wigner operators. For dimension d = 2, our decomposition holds for the whole separable range of Werner states, while for d > 2 it is valid for a subset of separable Werner states. We illustrate the general method with the explicit examples d = 2 and d = 3.

Multipartite invariant states. I. Unitary symmetry

Dariusz Chruściński, Andrzej Kossakowski

We propose a natural generalization of bipartite Werner and isotropic states to multipartite systems consisting of an arbitrary even number of $d$-dimensional subsystems (qudits). These generalized states are invariant under the action of local unitary operations. We study basic properties of multipartite invariant states and present necessary and sufficient separability criteria.
