Abstract
Abstract We study entanglement in arbitrary multipartite quantum systems by using principal basis matrix representations. Compared to the usual Bloch representation of a density matrix using three types of generators, the principal basis matrix representation can simplify computation due to its uniform type of generator. We take advantage of this simplicity to derive parameterized multipartite entanglement criteria. By constructing the parameterized matrices using the correlation tensors, we first present criteria for detecting tripartite entangled states under bipartition and full partition. Then, we generalize these results to obtain parameterized criteria for detecting arbitrary multipartite entangled states under the k-partition. Detailed examples show that our methods can detect more entangled states than previous ones.
