Abstract

We show that the secant variety of the Segre variety gives useful information about the geometrical structure of an arbitrary multipartite quantum system. In particular, we investigate the relation between arbitrary bipartite and three-partite entangled states and this secant variety. We also discuss the geometry of an arbitrary general multipartite state.

Geometrical structures of multipartite quantum systems

Hoshang Heydari

In this paper I will investigate geometrical structures of multipartite quantum systems based on complex projective varieties. These varieties are important in characterization of quantum entangled states. In particular I will establish relation between multi-projective Segre varieties and multip-qubit quantum states. I also will discuss other geometrical approaches such as toric varieties to visualize complex multipartite quantum systems.

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.

Geometric descriptions of entangled states by auxiliary varieties

Frédéric Holweck, Jean-Gabriel Luque, Jean‐Yves Thibon

The aim of the paper is to propose geometric descriptions of multipartite entangled states using algebraic geometry. In the context of this paper, geometric means each stratum of the Hilbert space, corresponding to an entangled state, is an open subset of an algebraic variety built by classical geometric constructions (tangent lines, secant lines) from the set of separable states. In this setting, we describe well-known classifications of multipartite entanglement such as 2 × 2 × (n + 1), for n ⩾ 1, quantum systems and a new description with the 2 × 3 × 3 quantum system. Our results complete the approach of Miyake and make stronger connections with recent work of algebraic geometers. Moreover, for the quantum systems detailed in this paper, we propose an algorithm, based on the classical theory of invariants, to decide to which subvariety of the Hilbert space a given state belongs.

General pure multipartite entangled states and the Segre variety

Hoshang Heydari

We construct a measure of entanglement by generalizing the quadric polynomial of the Segre variety for general multipartite states. This measure of entanglement works for any pure state and vanishes on multipartite product states. We give explicit expressions for general pure three-partite and four-partite states, and compare our measure of entanglement with the generalized concurrence.

We discuss and investigate the geometrical structure of general multipartite states. In particular, we show that a geometrical measure of entanglement for general multipartite states can be constructed by the complex projective varieties defined by quadratic polynomials.
