Does nonorthogonality necessarily imply nonmaximal entanglement ?

Abstract

We show that bipartite entanglements involving non-orthogonal states are {\it necessarily nonmaximally} entangled, however {\it small} the non-orthogonality may be. How the deviation from maximal entanglement is related to nonorthogonality is quantified by using two independent measures of entanglement corresponding to the violation of Bell's inequality and the entropy measure respectively. This result is true even if one of the subsystems has orthogonal states. An application of this is that a maximal violation of Bell's inequality in entangled neutral kaons is not possible in the presence of CP violation.

Bell’s inequality for an entanglement of nonorthogonal states

A. Mann, Barry C. Sanders, William J. Munro

Given an entanglement of two systems involving nonorthogonal states, we find the Schmidt decomposition for the state. The relation between the Schmidt representation and an ideal measurement of the degree of entanglement of the states is discussed, and a Bell inequality is shown to be violated. The maximal violation of the Bell inequality provides a measurement of the degree of entanglement. The entangled coherent states are provided as a concrete example of the Bell inequality for entangled nonorthogonal states.

Towards an equivalence between maximal entanglement and maximal quantum nonlocality

Victoria Lipińska, Florian J. Curchod, Alejandro Máttar +1 more

While all bipartite pure entangled states are known to generate correlations violating a Bell inequality, and are therefore nonlocal, the quantitative relation between pure state entanglement and nonlocality is poorly understood. In fact, some Bell inequalities are maximally violated by non-maximally entangled states and this phenomenon is also observed for other operational measures of nonlocality. In this work, we study a recently proposed measure of nonlocality defined as the probability that a pure state displays nonlocal correlations when subjected to random measurements. We first prove that this measure satisfies some natural properties for an operational measure of nonlocality. Then, we show that for pure states of two qubits the measure is monotonic with entanglement for all correlation two-outcome Bell inequalities: for all these inequalities, the more the state is entangled, the larger the probability to violate them when random measurements are performed. Finally, we extend our results to the multipartite setting.

Bell’s inequality and entanglement in qubits

Po-Yao Chang, Su-Kuan Chu, Chen‐Te Ma

We propose an alternative evaluation of quantum entanglement by measuring the maximum violation of the Bell’s inequality without information of the reduced density matrix of a system. This proposal is demonstrated by bridging the maximum violation of the Bell’s inequality and a concurrence of a pure state in an n-qubit system, in which one subsystem only contains one qubit and the state is a linear combination of two product states. We apply this relation to the ground states of four qubits in the Wen-Plaquette model and show that they are maximally entangled. A topological entanglement entropy of the Wen-Plaquette model could be obtained by relating the upper bound of the maximum violation of the Bell’s inequality to the generalized concurrence of a pure state with respect to different bipartitions.

Specifying nonlocality of a pure bipartite state and analytical relations between measures for bipartite nonlocality and entanglement

Elena R. Loubenets, Min Namkung

Abstract For a multipartite quantum state, the maximal violation of all Bell inequalities constitutes a measure of its nonlocality (Loubenets 2012 J . Math . Phys . 53 , 022201). In the present article, for the maximal violation of Bell inequalities by a pure bipartite state, possibly infinite-dimensional, we derive a new upper bound expressed in terms of the Schmidt coefficients of this state . This new upper bound allows us also to specify general analytical relations between the maximal violation of Bell inequalities by a bipartite quantum state, pure or mixed, and such entanglement measures for this state as ‘negativity’ and ‘concurrence’. To our knowledge, no any general analytical relations between measures for bipartite nonlocality and entanglement have been reported in the literature though, for a general bipartite state, specifically such relations are important for the entanglement certification and quantification scenarios. As an example, we apply our new results to finding upper bounds on nonlocality of bipartite coherent states intensively discussed last years in the literature in view of their experimental implementations.

Degree of entanglement for two qubits

Ayman F. Abouraddy, Bahaa E. A. Saleh, Alexander V. Sergienko +1 more

We demonstrate that any pure bipartite state of two qubits may be decomposed into a superposition of a maximally entangled state and an orthogonal factorizable one. Although there are many such decompositions, the weights of the two superposed states are, remarkably, unique. We propose a measure of entanglement based on this decomposition. We also demonstrate that this measure is connected to three measures of entanglement previously set forth: maximal violation of Bell's inequality, concurrence, and two-particle visibility.

Maximal entanglement versus entropy for mixed quantum states

Tzu-Chieh Wei, Kae Nemoto, Paul M. Goldbart +3 more

Maximally entangled mixed states are those states that, for a given mixedness, achieve the greatest possible entanglement. For two-qubit systems and for various combinations of entanglement and mixedness measures, the form of the corresponding maximally entangled mixed states is determined primarily analytically. As measures of entanglement, we consider entanglement of formation, relative entropy of entanglement, and negativity; as measures of mixedness, we consider linear and von Neumann entropies. We show that the forms of the maximally entangled mixed states can vary with the combination of (entanglement and mixedness) measures chosen. Moreover, for certain combinations, the forms of the maximally entangled mixed states can change discontinuously at a specific value of the entropy. Along the way, we determine the states that, for a given value of entropy, achieve maximal violation of Bell's inequality.
