Abstract

Previously, a formula, incorporating a 5F45F4 hypergeometric function, for the Hilbert-Schmidt-averaged determinantal moments ρPTnρk/ρk\left\langle \left\vert \rho^{PT}\right\vert ^{n}\left\vert \rho\right\vert ^{k}\right\rangle /\left\langle \left\vert \rho\right\vert ^{k}\right\rangle of 4×44 \times 4 density-matrices (ρ\rho), and their partial transposes (ρPT\rho^{PT}|) was applied with k=0k=0 to the generalized two-qubit separability-probability question. The formula can, further, be viewed we note here, as an averaging over "induced measures in the space of mixed quantum states". The associated induced-measure separability probabilities (k=1,2,k =1, 2,\ldots) are found--{\it via} a high-precision density approximation procedure--to assume interesting, relatively simple rational values in the two-re[al]bit (α=12\alpha = \frac{1}{2}), (standard) two-qubit (α=1\alpha = 1) and two-quater[nionic]bit (α=2\alpha =2) cases. We deduce rather simple companion (rebit, qubit, quaterbit,\ldots) formulas that successfully reproduce the rational values assumed for {\it general} kk. These formulas are observed to share certain features, possibly allowing them to be incorporated into a single master formula.
