Extreme points of the set of density matrices with positive partial transpose

Quantum Physics 2009-11-13 v1

Abstract

We present a necessary and sufficient condition for a finite dimensional density matrix to be an extreme point of the convex set of density matrices with positive partial transpose with respect to a subsystem. We also give an algorithm for finding such extreme points and illustrate this by some examples.
