Abstract

Abstract We provide an analytical formula for the volume ratio between bipartite X-states with positive partial transpose and all bipartite X-states. The result applies to arbitrary m × n-bipartite systems and the volume expressions are derived with respect to the Hilbert–Schmidt measure.

Entanglement in bipartite quantum systems: Euclidean volume ratios and detectability by Bell inequalities

Alexander Sauer, József Zsolt Bernád, H J Moreno +1 more

Abstract Euclidean volume ratios between quantum states with positive partial transpose and all quantum states in bipartite systems are investigated. These ratios allow a quantitative exploration of the typicality of entanglement and of its detectability by Bell inequalities. For this purpose a new numerical approach is developed. It is based on the Peres–Horodecki criterion, on a characterization of the convex set of quantum states by inequalities resulting from Newton identities and from Descartes’ rule of signs, and on a numerical approach involving the multiphase Monte Carlo method and the hit-and-run algorithm. This approach confirms not only recent analytical and numerical results on two-qubit, qubit-qutrit, and qubit-four-level qudit states but also allows for a numerically reliable numerical treatment of so far unexplored qutrit–qutrit states. Based on this numerical approach with the help of the Clauser–Horne–Shimony–Holt inequality and the Collins–Gisin inequality the degree of detectability of entanglement is investigated for two-qubit quantum states. It is investigated quantitatively to which extent a combined test of both Bell inequalities can increase the detectability of entanglement beyond what is achievable by each of these inequalities separately.

On the Bures Volume of Separable Quantum States ∗

Deping Ye

We obtain two sided estimates for the Bures volume of an arbitrary subset of the set of N × N density matrices, in terms of the Hilbert-Schmidt volume of that subset. For general subsets, our results are essentially optimal (for large N). As applications, we derive in particular nontrivial lower and upper bounds for the Bures volume of sets of separable states and for sets of states with positive partial transpose.

High Schmidt Number Concentration in Quantum Bound Entangled States

Robin Krebs, Mariami Gachechiladze

A deep understanding of quantum entanglement is vital for advancing quantum technologies. The strength of entanglement can be quantified by counting the degrees of freedom that are entangled, which results in a quantity called the Schmidt number. A particular challenge is to identify the strength of entanglement in quantum states that remain positive under partial transpose (PPT), otherwise recognized as undistillable states. Finding PPT states with high Schmidt numbers has become a mathematical and computational challenge. In this Letter, we introduce efficient analytical tools for calculating the Schmidt number for a class of bipartite states called grid states. Our methods improve the best-known bounds for PPT states with high Schmidt numbers. Most notably, we construct a Schmidt number 3 PPT state in five-dimensional systems and a family of states with a Schmidt number of (d+1)/2 for odd d-dimensional systems, representing the best-known scaling of the Schmidt number in a local dimension. Additionally, these states possess intriguing geometrical properties, which we utilize to construct indecomposable entanglement witnesses.

Parameterized bipartite entanglement measure

Zhi-Wei Wei, Shao-Ming Fei

Abstract We propose a novel parameterized entanglement measure α -concurrence for bipartite systems. By employing positive partial transposition and realignment criteria, we derive analytical lower bounds for the α -concurrence. Moreover, we calculate explicitly the analytic expressions of the α -concurrence for isotropic states and Werner states.

Concurrence of Mixed Bipartite Quantum States in Arbitrary Dimensions

Florian Mintert, Marek Kuś, Andreas Buchleitner

We derive a lower bound for the concurrence of mixed bipartite quantum states, valid in arbitrary dimensions. As a corollary, a weaker, purely algebraic estimate is found, which detects mixed entangled states with a positive partial transpose.
