Abstract

We adopt a formalism by which we construct and detect a new family of positive partial transpose entangled states in d1d2d_1\otimes d_2 dimensional system. Our detection method is based on the second order moment p2(ρTB)p_2(\rho^{T_B}) as it is very easy to calculate and may be realizable in laboratory. We show that if the second order moment p2(ρTB)p_2(\rho^{T_B}) in d1d2d_1\otimes d_2 dimensional system satisfy p2(ρTB)1d1d21p_2(\rho^{T_B})\leq\frac{1}{d_1 d_2-1}, then the state is a PPT state. We also derive an equivalent condition on the bloch vector. Then, we construct a quantum state by considering the mixture of a separable and an entangled state and obtain a condition on the mixing parameter for which the mixture represents a PPTES. Finally, applying our results, we have shown that the distillable key rate of the private state, prepared through our prescription, is positive. It suggests that our result also has potential applications in quantum cryptography.
