A nonextensive critical phenomenon scenario for quantum entanglement

We discuss the paradigmatic bipartite spin-1/2 system having the probabilities $\frac{1+3x}{4}$ of being in the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen fully entangled state $|\Psi^-$$> \equiv \frac{1}{\sqrt 2}(|$$\uparrow>_A|$$\downarrow>_B$$-|$$\downarrow>_A|$$\uparrow>_B)$ and $\frac{3(1-x)}{4}$ of being orthogonal. This system is known to be separable if and only if $x\le1/3$ (Peres criterion). This critical value has been recently recovered by Abe and Rajagopal through the use of the nonextensive entropic form $S_q \equiv \frac{1- Tr \rho^q}{q-1} (q \in \cal{R};$$S_1$$= -$ $Tr$ $\rho \ln \rho)$ which has enabled a current generalization of Boltzmann-Gibbs statistical mechanics. This result has been enrichened by Lloyd, Baranger and one of the present authors by proposing a critical-phenomenon-like scenario for quantum entanglement. Here we further illustrate and discuss this scenario through the calculation of some relevant quantities.
