Partial Trace Method for Deriving Density Operators of Light Field

Fan Hong-Yi, Xubing Tang, Liyun Hu

With the help of technique of integration within an ordered product of operators we can fully display the partial trace method to deduce some new density operators of light field. The general form of single-mode density operator is derived in this way from a normalized two-mode generalized squeezed pure state density operator.

Exploring entanglement in the context of quantum sensing

John M. Myers, Tai Tsun Wu

Motivated by an interest in quantum sensing, we define carefully a degree of entanglement, starting with bipartite pure states and building up to a definition applicable to any mixed state on any tensor product of finite-dimensional vector spaces. For mixed states the degree of entanglement is defined in terms of a minimum over all possible decompositions of the mixed state into pure states. Using a variational analysis we show a property of minimizing decompositions. Combined with data about the given mixed state, this property determines the degrees of entanglement of a given mixed state. For pure or mixed states symmetric under permutation of particles, we show that no partial trace can increase the degree of entanglement. For selected less-than-maximally-entangled pure states, we quantify the degree of entanglement surviving a partial trace.

The difference between two random mixed quantum states: exact and asymptotic spectral analysis

José Mejía, Camilo Zapata, Alonso Botero

Abstract We investigate the spectral statistics of the difference of two density matrices, each of which is independently obtained by partially tracing a random bipartite pure quantum state. We first show how a closed-form expression for the exact joint eigenvalue probability density function for arbitrary dimensions can be obtained from the joint probability density function of the diagonal elements of the difference matrix, which is straightforward to compute. Subsequently, we use standard results from free probability theory to derive a relatively simple analytic expression for the asymptotic eigenvalue density (AED) of the difference matrix ensemble, and using Carlson’s theorem, we obtain an expression for its absolute moments. These results allow us to quantify the typical asymptotic distance between the two random mixed states using various distance measures; in particular, we obtain the almost sure asymptotic behavior of the operator norm distance and the trace distance.
