CRITERIA OF PARTIAL SEPARABILITY OF MULTIPARTITE QUBIT MIXED STATES
Zai-Zhe Zhong
Abstract
We discuss the partial separability and its criteria problems of multipartite qubit mixed states. First, we strictly define what is the partial separability of a multipartite qubit system. Next, we provide a way of reduction from N-partite qubit density matrixes to bipartite qubit density matrixes, and prove a necessary condition that an N-partite qubit mixed state to be partially separable is its reduction to satisfy the PPT condition.
