Quantification of Entanglement by Means of Convergent Iterations

Abstract

The relative entropy of entanglement of a given bipartite quantum state is calculated by means of a convergent iterative algorithm. When this state turns out to be nonseparable, the algorithm also provides the corresponding optimal entanglement-witness measurement.

Iterative algorithm for the detection and quantification of entanglement

Jaroslav Řeháček, Z. Hradil

A set of extremal equations for relative entropy E is derived. Solving these equations by means of repeated convergent iterations is shown . The extremal equations indicate that there is a structure of quantum measurement associated with the extremal solution. The separable measurement obtained in this way specifies the extremal separable state and, significantly, provides the optimal entanglement witness operator revealing the possible entanglement of the input states.

Iterations of nonlinear entanglement witnesses

Tobias Moroder, Otfried Gühne, Norbert Lütkenhaus

We describe a generic way to improve a given linear entanglement witness by a quadratic, nonlinear term. This method can be iterated, leading to a whole sequence of nonlinear witnesses, which become stronger in each step of the iteration. We show how to optimize this iteration with respect to a given state and prove that in the limit of the iteration the nonlinear witness detects all states that can be detected by the positive map corresponding to the original linear witness.

An algorithm to explore entanglement in small systems

Robin Reuvers

A quantum state's entanglement across a bipartite cut can be quantified with entanglement entropy or, more generally, Schmidt norms. Using only Schmidt decompositions, we present a simple iterative algorithm to maximize Schmidt norms. Depending on the choice of norm, the optimizing states maximize or minimize entanglement, possibly across several bipartite cuts at the same time and possibly only among states in a specified subspace. Recognizing that convergence but not success is certain, we use the algorithm to explore topics ranging from fermionic reduced density matrices and varieties of pure quantum states to absolutely maximally entangled states and minimal output entropy of channels.

Two Theorems on Calculating the Relative Entropy of Entanglement

Shengjun Wu, Wu Qiang, Zhang Yong-De

We present two theorems on calculating the relative entropy of entanglement. Theorem 1 is an extension of Vedral and Plenio's theorem (Phys. Rev. A 57 (1998) 1619) for pure states, which is useful for calculating the relative entropy of entanglement for all pure states as well as for a class of mixed states. Theorem 2 gives the relative entropy of entanglement for any bipartite state whose tripartite purification has two separable reduced bipartite states.

Quantifying classical entanglement using polarimetry: Spatially-inhomogeneously polarized beams

Samlan Chandran Thodika, Nirmal K. Viswanathan

Generation of spatially inhomogeneously polarized (SIP) beams due to polarization spatial mode nonseparability is demonstrated using a polarization Sagnac interferometer. Counter propagating horizontal (H) and vertical (V) polarized Laguerre Gaussian beams of opposite topological charges(LG01)corresponding to the two binary degrees of freedom (DoF) are coherently superposed in the interferometer. Quantum inspired entanglement witness and quantification such as Bell state measurement, violation of CHSH form of Bells inequality and concurrence measurements are experimentally measured to establish nonseparability between the two DoF. As the SIP beams are equivalent to bipartite pure states, point wise Stokes polarimetry measurements are used to calculate the reduced coherency matrix corresponding to polarization DoF. Using these we calculate the linear entropy and maximized Bells measure to quantify the degree of entanglement of the SIP beams.
