Hermitian Schmidt Decomposition and Twin Observables of Bipartite Mixed States

Quantum Physics 2009-11-10 v1

Abstract

It is shown that for each mixed state there exists a Schmidt (super state vector) decomposition in terms of Hermitian operators. Its utilization for finding all twins is illustrated in full detail in the case of the two spin-one-half-particle states with maximally disordered subsystems (mixtures of Bell states).
