Abstract

Characterizing multipartite entanglement is a fundamental problem in quantum information theory. The concept of kk-stretchability [Szalay, Quantum 3, 204 (2019)] provides a framework for describing multipartite entanglement structures. We investigate the detection of kk-nonstretchability using informationally complete (s,t)(s,t)-POVMs [Siudzinˊ\textrm{\'{n}}ska, Phys. Rev. A 105, 042209 (2022)], which encompass GSIC-POVMs and MUMs. Several criteria for kk-nonstretchability in multipartite quantum systems are established. These criteria identify classes of kk-nonstretchable states, and their applicability and advantages are demonstrated through explicit examples.
