Abstract

We establish relations between Segre variety, conifold, Hopf fibration, and separable sets of pure two-qubit states. Moreover, we investigate the geometry and topology of separable sets of pure multi-qubit states based on a complex multi-projective Segre variety and higher order Hopf fibration.

The geometry and topology of entanglement: Conifold, Segre variety, and Hopf fibration

Hoshang Heydari

We establish relations between conifold, Segre variety, Hopf fibration, and separable sets of pure two-qubit states. Moreover, we investigate the geometry and topology of separable sets of pure multi-qubit states based on the complex multi-projective Segre variety and higher order Hopf fibration. We show that the Segre variety and Hopf fibration give a unified geometrical and topological picture of multi-qubit states. We also construct entanglement monotones for multi-qubit states.

Quantum entangled state, resolution of conifold singularity, and toric variety

Hoshang Heydari

We investigate the geometrical and combinatorial structures of multipartite quantum systems based on conifold and toric variety. In particular, we study the relations between resolution of conifold, toric variety, a separable state, and a quantum entangled state for bipartite and multi-qubit states. For example we show that the resolved or deformed conifold is equivalent with the space of a pure entangled two-qubit state. We also generalize this result into multi-qubit states.

Complex multi-projective variety and entanglement

Hoshang Heydari, Gunnar G. Bjork

In this paper, we will show that a vanishing generalized concurrence of a separable state can be seen as an algebraic variety called the Segre variety. This variety defines a quadric space which gives a geometric picture of separable states. For pure, bi- and three-partite states the variety equals the generalized concurrence. Moreover, we generalize the Segre variety to a general multipartite state by relating to a quadric space defined by two-by-two subdeterminants.

Geometry of two-qubit system and hopf fibration

Wen Wei Wong

Complex Hopf fibration and quaternionic Hopf fibration provide distinct ways of describing the state space for two-qubit quantum states. In this research, we have studied the geometry of quantum states for a two-level quantum system, along with the correspondence between complex Hopf bundle and quaternionic Hopf bundle. In the first part of our study, we investigate the behaviour of local coordinates for both Hopf bundles under different degree of entanglement such as entangled states and non-entangled states. Fubini-Study metric for complex projective space is also obtained. Its form suggests that for the intermediate entangled states, complex projective space CP3 can be described as a set of flat three-tori parametrized by a three-sphere. The local inhomogeneous coordinate of CP3 (base space of complex Hopf fibration) is found to carry the description of both subsystems A and B, whereas in the case of maximally entangled state, basis elements of local coordinates CP3 is not linearly independent of each other. Next, we construct a base space map between CP3 and S4, which is denoted as η map. After the mapping, we obtained phases in the base space manifold, different sections and coordinate charts are related by transition functions. We found that there is an inherent symmetry of coordinate transformation corresponds to different sections of CP3, which is expressed in terms of transition functions having the U(1) group structure. Also under η map, phases and transition function in S4 is doubled over that of CP3, indicating subtle symmetric changes after the mapping. The base space coordinates of quaternionic Hopf bundle are consist of two parts, whereby the first part is invariant to the coordinate transformation in CP3 but sensitive to the coordinate transformation in S4.
