Abstract

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.

Separability criteria based on a class of symmetric measurements

Le-Min Lai, Shunlong Luo

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.

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.

Separability criteria and entanglement witnesses from mutually unbiased equiangular tight frames

Alexey E. Rastegin

Abstract Methods of quantum information processing often appear in terms of specially selected states. For example, mutually unbiased bases (MUBs) and symmetric informationally complete measurements are widely applied. Finite frames have found use in many areas including quantum information. Due to its specific inner structure, a single equiangular tight frame (ETF) allows one to formulate criteria to detect non-classical correlations. This study aims to approach entanglement detection with the use of mutually unbiased ETFs. Such frames are an interesting generalization of widely recognized MUBs. It still uses rank-one operators, but the number of outcomes can exceed the dimensionality. Several approaches are considered including separability criteria and entanglement witnesses. Separability criteria for multipartite systems are finally obtained.

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.

Improving separability criteria from mutually unbiased equiangular tight frames

Fan Wu, Liang Tang

Abstract The detection of quantum entanglement represents a fundamental challenge in quantum measurement theory within the context of quantum information science. In this work, we propose a family of separability criteria based on mutually unbiased equiangular tight frames [IEEE Trans. Inf. Theory 67 , 1656–1667 (2021)], which constitute a natural generalization of both mutually unbiased bases and equiangular tight frames. The proposed criteria are applicable to a broad class of quantum systems, including bipartite systems with equal or unequal subsystem dimensions, as well as multipartite systems with heterogeneous dimensional components. In the examined cases, namely isotropic, Bell-diagonal, and Werner states, the proposed entanglement detection criteria demonstrate superior performance relative to several established methods. Crucially, these criteria rely solely on a small set of local measurements, which significantly enhances their experimental feasibility for the characterization of entanglement in unknown quantum states. Overall, the MUETF-based criteria provide more robust and versatile tools for entanglement verification across diverse quantum architectures.

Enhanced separability criteria based on symmetric measurements

Yu Lu, Hao-Fan Wang, Meng Su +2 more

We present separability criteria based on local symmetric measurements. These experimental plausible criteria are shown to be more efficient in detecting entanglement than the current counterparts by detailed examples. Furthermore, we generalize the separability criteria from bipartite to arbitrary multipartite systems. These criteria establish a richer connection between the quantum entanglement and the probabilities of local measurement outcomes.
