Abstract

We present a general method to find the upper and lower bounds on the generalized entanglement of formation for multi-party systems. The upper and lower bounds can be expressed in terms of the bi-partite entanglements of formation and/or entropies of various subsystems. The examples for tri- and four-party systems in the both pure states and mixed states are given. We also suggest a little modified definition of generalized entanglement of formation for multi-party systems if EPR pairs are thought of belonging to the set of maximally entangled states.

Generalization of the entanglement of formation for multi-party systems

A M Wang

We present the generalization of the entanglement of formation for three-party systems in a pure state. For three qubit system we derive out its explicit and closed expression which is a linear combination of the binary entropy functions with various arguments, and these arguments are clearly determined in terms of the components of state vector of three qubits. As a reasonable measure of entanglement, the main behaviors and elementary properties of this generalized entanglement of formation are showed through discussing some important and interesting examples. Moreover, we propose how to extend our definition to a mixed state in according to the familiar idea. Then, we suggest the generalization of the entanglement of formation for multi-party systems which is consistent with the regular definition for two-party systems and our definition for three-party systems.

Bounds on relative entropy of entanglement for multi-party systems

Martin Bodo Plenio, Vlatko Vedral

We present upper and lower bounds to the relative entropy of entanglement of multi-party systems in terms of the bi-partite entanglements of formation and distillation and entropies of various subsystems. We point out implications of our results to the local reversible convertibility of multi-party pure states and discuss their physical basis in terms of deleting information.

Entanglement of formation and monogamy of multi-party quantum entanglement

Jeong San Kim

We provide a sufficient condition for the monogamy inequality of multi-party quantum entanglement of arbitrary dimensions in terms of entanglement of formation. Based on the classical-classical-quantum(ccq) states whose quantum parts are obtained from the two-party reduced density matrices of a three-party quantum state, we show the additivity of the mutual information of the ccq states guarantees the monogamy inequality of the three-party pure state in terms of EoF. After illustrating the result with some examples, we generalize our result of three-party systems into any multi-party systems of arbitrary dimensions.

Improved relative entanglement entropy for multi-party systems

An Min Wang

We present the improved relative entanglement entropy 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 improved relative entanglement entropy of some important and interesting examples, we display the main behaviors and elementary properties of the improved relative entanglement entropy and compare it with the generalized entanglement of formation. Moreover, we also propose an assistant, as the upper bound, of the improved relative entanglement entropy.

Multipartite Monogamy of the Entanglement of Formation for three qubit systems

Xian Shi

Characterizing the distribution of entanglement in multi-partite systems is one of the most interesting topics on entanglement theory. Here we consider a linear monogamy relation between all bipartite partitions for a three-qubit system in terms of entanglement of formation (EoF). We also present the upper bound of the sum of all bipartite partitions for a three qubit pure state in terms of concurrence.
