In this article, we introduce a framework for two-qutrit Werner states tomography with Gaussian noise. The measurement scheme is based on the symmetric, informationally complete positive operator-valued measure. To make the framework realistic, we impose the Gaussian noise on the measured states numbers. Through numerical simulation, we successfully reconstructed the two-qutrit Werner states in various experimental scenarios and analyzed the optimal scenario from four aspects: fidelity, purity, entanglement, and coherence.
This dissertation describes the application of symmetry to multipartite quantum systems from the viewpoint of quantum information theory. It is written in the framework of abstract quantum information theory, i.e. without distinguishing the physical nature of the d-level systems considered. The results are mathematically rigorous and aim at investigating entanglement properties as well as operational properties of states of multipartite systems. The first chapter gathers the mathematical tools and concepts needed in the following chapters and can be omitted by the experienced reader. In chapter two we apply the concept of symmetry to multipartite systems and show how to construct families of symmetric states that can be described by few parameters only regardless of the size of single systems. Chapter three is devoted to the states of tripartite systems having Werner symmetry. We characterize their separability properties and analyze the strength of the known separability criteria. Furthermore we investigate their entanglement properties in terms of the relative entropy of entanglement, the entanglement monotone induced by the trace norm distance and the maximal violation of Bell inequalities. As a third aspect we analyze the possibility of embedding bipartite Werner states and explore the inner geometry of the manifold given by the statistical distance of two neighbouring tripartite Werner states. In the fourth chapter we introduce multipartite quantum data hiding as an application of multipartite Werner states. We prove the security of this protocol for any coalition and give various examples. The last chapter is concerned with the shared fidelity, its frustration and how it can be maximized in certain multipartite systems.
We investigate pairwise correlation properties of the ground state (GS) of finite antiferromagnetic (AFM) spin chains described by the Heisenberg model. The exchange coupling is restricted to nearest neighbor spins, and is constant
J0 except for a pair of neighboring sites, where the coupling
J1 may vary. We identify a rich variety of possible behaviors for different measures of pairwise (quantum and classical) correlations and entanglement in the GS of such spin chain. Varying a single coupling affects the degree of correlation between all spin pairs, indicating possible control over such correlations by tuning
J1. We also show that a class of two spin states constitutes exact spin realizations of Werner states (WS). Apart from the basic and theoretical aspects, this opens concrete alternatives for experimentally probing non-classical correlations in condensed matter systems, as well as for experimental realizations of a WS via a single tunable exchange coupling in a AFM chain.
