Abstract

Absolute separable states is a kind of separable state that remain separable under the action of any global unitary transformation. These states may or may not have quantum correlation and these correlations can be measured by quantum discord. We find that the absolute separable states are useful in quantum computation even if it contains infinitesimal quantum correlation in it. Thus to search for the class of two-qubit absolute separable states with zero discord, we have derived an upper bound for Tr(ϱ2)Tr(\varrho^{2}), where ϱ\varrho denoting all zero discord states. In general, the upper bound depends on the state under consideration but if the state belong to some particular class of zero discord states then we found that the upper bound is state independent. Later, it is shown that among these particular classes of zero discord states, there exist sub-classes which are absolutely separable. Furthermore, we have derived necessary conditions for the separability of a given qubit-qudit states. Then we used the derived conditions to construct a ball for 2d2\otimes d quantum system described by Tr(ρ2)Tr(X2)+2Tr(XZ)+Tr(Z2)Tr(\rho^{2})\leq Tr(X^{2})+2Tr(XZ)+Tr(Z^{2}), where the 2d2\otimes d quantum system is described by the density operator ρ\rho which can be expressed by block matrices X,YX,Y and ZZ with X,Z0X,Z\geq 0. In particular, for qubit-qubit system, we show that the newly constructed ball contain larger class of absolute separable states compared to the ball described by Tr(ρ2)13Tr(\rho^{2})\leq \frac{1}{3}. Lastly, we have derived the necessary condition in terms of purity for the absolute separability of a qubit-qudit system under investigation.
