Entanglement measure and distance

Abstract

Recently a new entanglemenet dilution scheme has been constructed by Lo and Popescu. This paper points out that this result has a deep implication that the entanglement measure for bipartite pure states is independent of the distance between entangled two systems.

Absolutely entangled set of pure states

Mao-Sheng Li, Man‐Hong Yung

Quite recently, Cai et al. [arXiv:2006.07165v1] proposed a new concept "absolutely entangled set" for bipartite quantum systems: for any possible choice of global basis, at least one state of the set is entangled. There they presented a minimum example with a set of four states in two qubit systems and they proposed a quantitative measure for the absolute set entanglement. In this work, we derive two necessity conditions for a set of states to be an absolutely entangled set. In addition, we give a series constructions of absolutely entangled bases on $\mathbb{C}^{d_1}\otimes \mathbb{C}^{d_2}$ for any nonprime dimension $d=d_1\times d_2$. Moreover, based on the structure of the orthogonal product basis in $\mathbb{C}^2\otimes \mathbb{C}^n$, we obtain another construction of absolutely entangled set with $2n+1$ elements in $\mathbb{C}^2\otimes \mathbb{C}^n$.

Methods For Measuring Quantum Entanglement: Entanglement Entropy Measures and their Implications

Rajendra Kumar

The paper is an elaborate comparative assessment of the most relevant entropy-based quantities to be applied in quantifying quantum entanglement in pure, mixed, bipartite, and multipartite quantum systems. The study fills the existing gap in the literature in which most of the previous literature examines individual measures, but a lot of knowledge is lacking on what these measures are regarding their strengths, weaknesses, and the operational usefulness against each other. The study can prove the behaviour of each measure under noise, decoherence, dimensional scaling, and variation of state-type by analysing von Neumann entropy, the Tsallis entropy, entropy of entanglement of formation, concurrence and logarithmic negativity. Numerical studies with pure two-qubit states, Werner states, GHZ states, W states and mixed random states demonstrate specific sensitivity properties and computational limitations which ensure that no single measure can be a universal quantifier. The paper goes on to say that entropy-only measures do not work in mixed regimes because of a dominance in classical correlations. The results have several important implications to quantum communication, quantum simulation, and quantum computing in the NISQ-era, where the choice of measurement has a direct impact on benchmarking, error-correction scheme, and protocol performance based on entanglement. The paper ends with a recommendation of contextual, purpose-based scheme of selecting entanglement measures and suggests a further study on scalable benchmarking, hybrid quantifiers, and operational performance-based entanglement measurements. These observations reinforce the theoretical premise of entanglement studies and enable the advancement of more effective quantum technologies in the field of practice.

Inefficiency and classical communication bounds for conversion between partially entangled pure bipartite quantum states

Ben Fortescue, Hoi‐Kwong Lo

We present explicit bounds on the classical communication cost and inefficiency of entanglement dilution via the Lo-Popescu protocol, for the case of two-term (single-qubit) entangled states. By considering a two-stage dilution, we consequently use prior results to obtain meaningful bounds on the classical communication cost and inefficiency of dilution between two-term partially entangled states.

Communication cost of entanglement transformations

Patrick M. Hayden, Andreas Winter

We study the amount of communication needed for two parties to transform some given joint pure state into another one, either exactly or with some fidelity. Specifically, we present a method to lower bound this communication cost even when the amount of entanglement does not increase. Moreover, the bound applies even if the initial state is supplemented with unlimited entanglement in the form of EPR (Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen) pairs and the communication is allowed to be quantum mechanical. We then apply the method to the determination of the communication cost of asymptotic entanglement concentration and dilution. While concentration is known to require no communication whatsoever, the best known protocol for dilution, discovered by H.-K. Lo and S. Popescu [Phys. Rev. Lett. 83, 1459 (1999)], requires exchange of a number of bits that is of the order of the square root of the number of EPR pairs. Here we prove a matching lower bound of the same asymptotic order, demonstrating the optimality of the Lo-Popescu protocol up to a constant factor and establishing the existence of a fundamental asymmetry between the concentration and dilution tasks. We also discuss states for which the minimal communication cost is proportional to their entanglement, such as the states recently introduced in the context of ``embezzling entanglement'' (W. van Dam and P. Hayden, e-print quant-ph/0201041).
