Entanglement Quantification Made Easy: Polynomial Measures Invariant under Convex Decomposition

Bartosz Regula, Gerardo Adesso

Quantifying entanglement in composite systems is a fundamental challenge, yet exact results are available in only a few special cases. This is because hard optimization problems are routinely involved, such as finding the convex decomposition of a mixed state with the minimal average pure-state entanglement, the so-called convex roof. We show that under certain conditions such a problem becomes trivial. Precisely, we prove by a geometric argument that polynomial entanglement measures of degree 2 are independent of the choice of pure-state decomposition of a mixed state, when the latter has only one pure unentangled state in its range. This allows for the analytical evaluation of convex roof extended entanglement measures in classes of rank-2 states obeying such a condition. We give explicit examples for the square root of the three-tangle in three-qubit states, and we show that several representative classes of four-qubit pure states have marginals that enjoy this property.

Polynomial measure of coherence

You Zhou, Qi Zhao, Xiao Yuan +1 more

Coherence, the superposition of orthogonal quantum states, is indispensable in various quantum processes. Inspired by the polynomial invariant for classifying and quantifying entanglement, we first define polynomial coherence measure and systematically investigate its properties. Except for the qubit case, we show that there is no polynomial coherence measure satisfying the criterion that its value takes zero if and only if for incoherent states. Then, we release this strict criterion and obtain a necessary condition for polynomial coherence measure. Furthermore, we give a typical example of polynomial coherence measure for pure states and extend it to mixed states via a convex-roof construction. Analytical formula of our convex-roof polynomial coherence measure is obtained for symmetric states which are invariant under arbitrary basis permutation. Consequently, for general mixed states, we give a lower bound of our coherence measure.
