Separability criteria based on a class of symmetric measurements

Abstract

Abstract Highly symmetric quantum measurements, such as mutually unbiased measurements (MUMs) and general symmetric informationally complete positive-operator-valued measures (GSIC-POVMs), play an important role in both foundational and practical aspects of quantum information theory. Recently, a broad class of symmetric measurements were introduced [K Siudzińska, (2022) Phys. Rev. A 105, 042209], which can be viewed as a common generalization of MUMs and GSIC-POVMs. In this work, the role of these symmetric measurements in entanglement detection is studied. More specifically, based on the correlation matrices defined via (informationally complete) symmetric measurements, a separability criterion for arbitrary dimensional bipartite systems is proposed. It is shown that the criterion is stronger than the method provided by Siudzińska, meanwhile, it can unify several popular separability criteria based on MUMs or GSIC-POVMs. Furthermore, using these (informationally complete) symmetric measurements, two efficient criteria are presented to detect the entanglement of tripartite quantum states. The detection power and advantages of these criteria are illustrated through several examples.

Enhancing some separability criteria in many-body quantum systems

Liang Bao Tang, Fan Wu

Abstract Quantum measurements based on mutually unbiased bases, mutually unbiased measurements and general symmetric informationally complete positive operator valued measurements, which are commonly used in quantum information and quantum computation. In this paper, by a broad class of informationally complete symmetric measurements and correlation matrices, some separability criteria are proposed for different quantum systems that are more robust and comprehensive than the corresponding criteria previously introduced L M Lai, T Li, S M Fei, and Z X Wang, (2018 Quantum Inf. Process., 17, 314); J W Shang, A Asadian, and H J Zhu, (2018 Phys. Rev. A 98, 022309). Furthermore, we extend the separability criteria of tripartite quantum systems to many-body systems. The proposed entanglement criteria may further enrich the relationship between quantum entanglement and measurement.

Entanglement detection via some classes of measurements

Shu‐Qian Shen, Ming Li, Xuefeng Duan

Based on the mutually unbiased bases, the mutually unbiased measurements and the general symmetric informationally complete positive-operator-valued measures, we propose three separability criteria for $d$-dimensional bipartite quantum systems, which are more powerful than the corresponding ones introduced previously [C. Spengler, M. Huber, S. Brierley, T. Adaktylos, and B. C. Hiesmayr, Phys. Rev. A 86, 022311 (2012); B. Chen, T. Ma, and S. M. Fei, Phys. Rev. A 89, 064302 (2014); and B. Chen, T. Li, and S. M. Fei, arXiv:1406.7820v1 [quant-ph] (2014)]. Some states such as Werner states and Bell-diagonal states are used to further illustrate the efficiency of the presented criteria.

Improved separability criteria via some classes of measurements

Shen, S., Li, M., Li-Jost, X. +1 more

The entanglement detection via local measurements can be experimentally implemented. Based on mutually unbiased measurements and general symmetric informationally complete positive-operator-valued measures, we present separability criteria for bipartite quantum states, which, by theoretical analysis, are stronger than the related existing criteria via these measurements. Two detailed examples are supplemented to show the efficiency of the presented separability criteria.

Detecting genuine tripartite entanglement via general symmetric informationally complete measurements

Jia Hao, Hui Zhao, Shao-Ming Fei +2 more

We study multipartite entanglement and genuine tripartite entanglement based on general symmetric informationally complete positive operator valued measurements (GSIC-POVMs). By representing the bipartite density matrices in terms of GSIC-POVMs, we obtain the lower bound of the sum of squares of the corresponding probability. We then construct a special matrix with the correlation probability of GSIC-POVMs to derive useful and operational criteria to detect genuine tripartite entanglement. We also generalize the results to obtain a sufficient criterion to detect entanglement for multipartite quantum states in arbitrary dimensions. Detailed examples show that the new method can detect more entangled and genuine entangled states than previous criteria.

Separability criteria via sets of mutually unbiased measurements

Lu Liu, Ting Gao, Fengli Yan

Mutually unbiased measurements (MUMs) are generalized from the concept of mutually unbiased bases (MUBs) and include the complete set of MUBs as a special case, but they are superior to MUBs as they do not need to be rank one projectors. We investigate entanglement detection using sets of MUMs and derive separability criteria for multipartite qudit systems, arbitrary high-dimensional bipartite systems of a d1-dimensional subsystem and a d2-dimensional subsystem, and multipartite systems of multi-level subsystems. These criteria are of the advantages of more effective and wider application range than previous criteria. They provide experimental implementation in detecting entanglement of unknown quantum states.

Typical bipartite steerability and generalized local quantum measurements

Maximilian Schumacher, G. Alber

Abstract Recently proposed correlation-matrix-based sufficient conditions for bipartite steerability from Alice to Bob for arbitrary measurements are applied to local informationally complete positive operator valued measures (POVMs) of the (N,M)-type. These POVMs include a large class of local generalized measurements of current interest [Siudzińska K 2022 Phys. Rev. A 105 042209]. It is shown that the trace norm of correlation matrices with local (N,M)-POVMs is proportional to that of local orthonormal hermitian operator bases (LOOs). This implies that all types of informationally complete (N,M)-POVMs are equally powerful in detecting bipartite steerability from Alice to Bob and, in addition, they are as powerful as LOOs. In order to explore the typicality of steering numerical calculations of lower bounds on Euclidean volume ratios between steerable bipartite quantum states from Alice to Bob and all quantum states are determined with the help of a hit-and-run Monte-Carlo algorithm. These results demonstrate that with the single exception of two qubits this correlation-matrix-based sufficient condition significantly underestimates these volume ratios. These results are also compared to a recently proposed method that determines bipartite steerability from Alice’s qubit to Bob’s arbitrary dimensional quantum system by bipartite entanglement detection. It is demonstrated that in general this method is significantly more effective in detecting typical steerability provided non local entanglement detection methods are used which transcend local measurements.
