Abstract

Abstract The state space of quantum system is a Hilbert space with complex inner product. The two states quantum system is called a qubit. Its quantum state gives different geometric representations. The density matrix of a quantum state can describe all the information of a quantum system. In particular, the representation of quantum pure states by means of extended complex plane is given. On this basis, combined with the matrix representation of the quantum states of the composite system, the criteria for quantum entanglement and separability are studied. Finally, the measurement method of quantum pure state entanglement is given.

Separability Criteria Combined with Local Filtering Transformation Based on the Bloch Representation

Wenli Wu, Zhaofeng Su

Quantum properties, such as entanglement and coherence, are indispensable resources in various quantum information processing tasks. However, given a quantum state, it is not a simple question to identify whether it is entangled or not. We study the entanglement of quantum systems in arbitrary dimensions using the Bloch representation of density matrix. This approach enables us to consider quantum entanglement geometrically. We first analyze the effect of local Bloch vector on determining whether a quantum state is entangled or separable, and obtain an entanglement criterion related to local Bloch vector, which is stronger than the criterion that only considers the correlation matrix. This criterion is equivalent to the optimized computable cross norm criterion in [14]. Our proof is considered from the perspective of Bloch representation, and there is no need to know the matrix relignment in advance. This criterion also be extended to the problem of the separability of tripartite quantum states. We then combine the local filtering transformation with this entanglement criterion. After applying a suitable local filtering transformation, the quantum state has at most one nonzero Bloch vector, and examples are given to illustrate that the local filtering transformation can help detect some bound states where the original entanglement criterion fails. Moreover, for a finite-dimensional quantum system in which one party is a qubit, we give an analytical form of the combined entanglement criterion.

Quantum Entanglement Criterion for Rank of Block Matrix Vector Group Based on Density Matrix

Guangrong Liu

Abstract The determination of quantum state separability is the basic problem of quantum entanglement theory. By judging the rank of the matrix vector group formed by the density matrix block, the necessary and sufficient conditions for the separation of quantum pure States are given, and the necessary conditions for the separation of quantum mixed States are given, too. In the composite system 2 × 2, the rank of the vector group corresponding to the divisible pure state is 1, and the rank corresponding to the entangled state is 4.

A geometric Hamiltonian description of composite quantum systems and quantum entanglement

Davide Pastorello

Finite-dimensional Quantum Mechanics can be geometrically formulated as a proper classical-like Hamiltonian theory in a projective Hilbert space. The description of composite quantum systems within the geometric Hamiltonian framework is discussed in this paper. As summarized in the first part of this work, in the Hamiltonian formulation the phase space of a quantum system is the Kähler manifold given by the complex projective space P(H) of the Hilbert space H of the considered quantum theory. However the phase space of a bipartite system must be P(H1 ⊗ H2) and not simply P(H1) × P(H2) as suggested by the analogy with Classical Mechanics. A part of this paper is devoted to manage this problem. In the second part of the work, a definition of quantum entanglement and a proposal of entanglement measure are given in terms of a geometrical point of view (a rather studied topic in recent literature). Finally two known separability criteria are implemented in the Hamiltonian formalism.

A novel entanglement criterion of two-qubit system

Chao Zhao, Qizhi Guo, Weihan Tan

The “separability problem” in quantum information theory is a quite important and well-known hard problem. The low-dimensional system satisfies the PPT criterion. However, the high-dimensional system problem has been shown to be NP-hard problem. In general, it is very difficult to find the analytic solution of the density matrix for the high-dimensional system. Therefore, getting an analytic solution for two-qubit system is an interesting and useful problem. We propose a novel criterion for separability and entanglement-verification of two-qubit system. We expressed the density matrix by a sum of a principal density matrix and six separable density matrices. The necessary and sufficient conditions for the two-qubit system include that if the four involved coefficients [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and the principal density matrix [Formula: see text] are separable, then the two-qubit system is separable, otherwise the two-qubit system is entangled. Finally, our criterion results in a totally different conclusion compared to Horodecki’s criterion. We believe that the new criterion is more stringent than existing PPT methods.

The cross states of a composite quantum system: separability and entanglement in any Hilbert space dimension

Paolo Aniello

We introduce a class of states of a composite quantum system, the so-called cross states, that turn out to play a major role in the theory of entanglement for a genuinely infinite-dimensional bipartite system. In the case where at least one of the Hilbert spaces of the bipartition is finite-dimensional, all states are cross states, whereas, in the genuinely infinite-dimensional setting where the dimension of both Hilbert spaces is not finite, the cross states form a trace-norm dense, convex, proper subset of the set of all states. In the latter case, the cross states can be regarded as those physical states that possess a finite amount of entanglement; accordingly, all separable states are of this kind. We prove that, for any Hilbert space dimension, the separable states can be characterized as those cross states that minimize a suitable norm, i.e., the projective norm associated with the projective tensor product of two trace classes; all other cross states are density operators belonging to the projective tensor product space. This is a generalization of the classical cross norm criterion of separability. Finally, we define an extended real-valued entanglement function and study its main properties. Coherently with the interpretation of cross states as finitely entangled states, this function is finite, and coincides with the projective norm, precisely on the cross states of the system.

A statistical-mechanical description of quantum entanglement

Jarosław K. Korbicz, F. Hulpke, Andreas Osterloh +1 more

We present a description of finite-dimensional quantum entanglement based on a study of the space of all convex decompositions of a given density matrix. On this space we construct a system of real polynomial equations describing separable states. We further study this system using methods of statistical mechanics. As an example, we finally apply our techniques to Werner states of two qubits and obtain a sufficient criterion for separability.
