Degree of entanglement for qubit-qutrit state

Abstract

In this paper we consider a system consist of a qubit and a qutrit, and find a formula to evaluate the concurrence for it. We show that entanglement of formation for this system obeys the same relation as for two-qubits.

Distributed entanglement

Valerie Coffman, Joydip Kundu, William K. Wootters

Consider three qubits A, B, and C which may be entangled with each other. We show that there is a trade-off between A's entanglement with B and its entanglement with C. This relation is expressed in terms of a measure of entanglement called the concurrence, which is related to the entanglement of formation. Specifically, we show that the squared concurrence between A and B, plus the squared concurrence between A and C, cannot be greater than the squared concurrence between A and the pair BC. This inequality is as strong as it could be, in the sense that for any values of the concurrences satisfying the corresponding equality, one can find a quantum state consistent with those values. Further exploration of this result leads to a definition of an essential three-way entanglement of the system, which is invariant under permutations of the qubits.

Lower bound on entanglement of formation for the qubit-qudit system

E. Gerjuoy

Wootters [Phys. Rev. Lett. $80,$ 2245 (1998)] has derived a closed formula for the entanglement of formation (EOF) of an arbitrary mixed state in a system of two qubits. There is no known closed-form expression for the EOF of an arbitrary mixed state in any system more complicated than two qubits. This paper, via a relatively straightforward generalization of Wootters' original derivation, obtains a closed-form lower bound on the EOF of an arbitary mixed state of a system composed of a qubit and a qudit (a d-level quantum system, with $d>~3).$ The derivation of the lower bound is detailed for a system composed of a qubit and a qutrit $(d=3);$ the generalization to $d>3$ then follows readily.

Negativity and Concurrence for two qutrits

Suranjana Rai, Jagdish R. Luthra

Two measures of entanglement, negativity and concurrence are studied for two qutrits. An operator origin of negativity is presented and an analytic formula connecting the two measures is derived.

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.

Entanglement of qutrits and ququarts

Mikhail Vladimirovich Fedorov, P. A. Volkov, J. M. Mikhailova +2 more

We investigate in a general form entanglement of biphoton qutrits and ququarts, i.e. states formed in the processes of collinear and, correspondingly, degenerate and non-degenerate Spontaneous Parametric Down-Conversion. Indistinguishability of photons and, for ququarts, joint presence of the frequency and and polarization entanglement are fully taken into account. In the case of qutrits the most general 3-parametric families of maximally entangled and non-entangled states are found, and anti-correlation of the degree of entanglement and polarization is shown to occur and to be characterized by a rather simple formula. Biphoton ququarts are shown to be two-qudits with the single-photon Hilbert space dimensionality $d=4$, which differs them significantly from the often used two-qubit model ($d=2$). New expressions for entanglement quantifiers of biphoton ququarts are derived and discussed. Rather simple procedures for a direct measurement of the degree of entanglement are described for both qutrits and ququarts.

Entanglement monogamy relations of qubit systems

Xue‐Na Zhu, Shao-Ming Fei

We investigate the monogamy relations related to the concurrence and the entanglement of formation. General monogamy inequalities given by the $\ensuremath{\alpha}\text{th}$ power of concurrence and entanglement of formation are presented for $N$-qubit states. The monogamy relation for entanglement of assistance is also established. Based on these general monogamy relations, the residual entanglement of concurrence and entanglement of formation are studied. Some relations among the residual entanglement, entanglement of assistance, and three tangle are also presented.
