Explicit product ensembles for separable quantum states

Quantum Physics 2015-06-26 v2

Abstract

We present a general method for constructing pure-product-state representations for density operators of NN quantum bits. If such a representation has nonnegative expansion coefficients, it provides an explicit separable ensemble for the density operator. We derive the condition for separability of a mixture of the Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger state with the maximally mixed state.
