Modification of relative entropy of Entanglement

Abstract

We present the modified relative entropy of entanglement (MRE) in order to both improve the computability for the relative entropy of entanglement and avoid the problem that the entanglement of formation seems to be greater than entanglement of distillation. For two qubit system we derive out an explicit and "weak" closed expression of MRE that depends on the pure state decompositions in the case of mixed states. For more qubit system, we obtain an algorithm to calculate MRE in principle. MRE significantly improves the computability of relative entropy of entanglement and decreases the dependence and sensitivity on the pure state decompositions. Moreover it is able to inherit most of the important physical features of the relative entropy of entanglement. In addition, a kind of states, as an extension of Werner's states, is discussed constructively.

Improving Relative Entropy of Entanglement

An Min Wang

Through choosing and fixing the relative density matrix within a finite decomposition set of pure states for a mixed state, the definition of the relative entropy of entanglement is improved. This improving relative entropy of entanglement is able to inherit all the physical features of the relative entropy of entanglement. It is obtained that the improving relative entropy of entanglement is a function of the polarization vectors of the reduced density matrices of the decomposition density matrices. This makes that the improving relative entropy of entanglement has the same computability as the entanglement of formation has. In addition, a kind of states, as an extension of Werner's states, is discussed.

Modified relative entropy of entanglement for multi-party systems

An Min Wang

We present the modified relative entropy of entanglement for multi-party systems by a given relative density matrix which is spanned by a linear combination of the direct products of so-called basis of relative density matrices and reduced density matrices for every party. For three qubit system in a pure state we derive out the explicit and closed expression of our relative density matrix which is a function of the components of the state vector of three qubits. Through computing the modified relative entropy of entanglement of some important and interesting examples, we display the main behaviors and elementary properties of the modified relative entropy of entanglement and compare it with the generalized entanglement of formation. Moreover, we also propose an assistant, as the upper bound, of the modified relative entropy of entanglement.

Comparison of the relative entropy of entanglement and negativity

Adam Miranowicz, Satoshi Ishizaka, Bohdan Horst +1 more

It is well known that for two qubits the upper bounds of the relative entropy of entanglement (REE) for a given concurrence as well as the negativity for a given concurrence are reached by pure states. We show that, by contrast, there are two-qubit mixed states for which the REE for some range of a fixed negativity is higher than that for pure states. Moreover, we demonstrate that a mixture of a pure entangled state and pure separable state orthogonal to it is likely to give the maximal REE. By noting that the negativity is a measure of entanglement cost under operations preserving positivity of partial transpose, our results provide an explicit example of operations such that, even though the entanglement cost for an exact preparation is the same, the entanglement of distillation of a mixed state can exceed that of pure states. This means that the entanglement manipulation via a pure state can result in a larger entanglement loss than that via a mixed state.

Relative entropy of entanglement of two-qubit ‘X’ states

黄接辉, 刘念华, 刘江涛 +2 more

Two closest single-qubit states could be diagonalised by the same unitary matrix, which helps to find the relative entropy of entanglement of a two-qubit 'X' state. We formulate two binary equations for the relative entropy of entanglement and the corresponding closest separable state of a given two-qubit 'X' state. This approach can be applied to get the relative entropy of entanglement of many widely-discussed two-qubit states, such as pure states, Werner states, and so on.

Connections between relative entropy of entanglement and geometric measure of entanglement

Tzu-Chieh Wei, Marie Ericsson, Paul M. Goldbart +1 more

As two of the most important entanglement measures---the entanglement of formation and the entanglement of distillation---have so far been limited to bipartite settings, the study of other entanglement measures for multipartite systems appears necessary. Here, connections between two other entanglement measures---the relative entropy of entanglement and the geometric measure of entanglement---are investigated. It is found that for arbitrary pure states the latter gives rise to a lower bound on the former. For certain pure states, some bipartite and some multipartite, this lower bound is saturated, and thus their relative entropy of entanglement can be found analytically in terms of their known geometric measure of entanglement. For certain mixed states, upper bounds on the relative entropy of entanglement are also established. Numerical evidence strongly suggests that these upper bounds are tight, i.e., they are actually the relative entropy of entanglement.
