Abstract

We report several witness-parameterized families of bound-entangled probabilities. Two pertain to the d=3d=3 (two-qutrit) and a third to the d=4d=4 (two-ququart) subsets analyzed by Hiesmayr and L{\"o}ffler of "magic" simplices of Bell states. The Hilbert-Schmidt probabilities of positive-partial-transpose (PPT) states--within which we search for bound-entangled states--are 8π2730.537422\frac{8 \pi }{27 \sqrt{3}} \approx 0.537422 (d=3d=3) and 12+log(23)830.404957\frac{1}{2}+\frac{\log \left(2-\sqrt{3}\right)}{8 \sqrt{3}} \approx 0.404957 (d=4d=4). We obtain bound-entangled probabilities of 49+4π273+log(3)60.00736862-\frac{4}{9}+\frac{4 \pi }{27 \sqrt{3}}+\frac{\log (3)}{6} \approx 0.00736862 and 204+7log(7)+1683cos1(1114)11340.00325613\frac{-204+7 \log (7)+168 \sqrt{3} \cos ^{-1}\left(\frac{11}{14}\right)}{1134} \approx 0.00325613 (d=3d=3) and 8log(2)27592880.00051583\frac{8 \log (2)}{27}-\frac{59}{288} \approx 0.00051583 and 24csch1(817)1717915440.00218722\frac{24 \text{csch}^{-1}\left(\frac{8}{\sqrt{17}}\right)}{17 \sqrt{17}}-\frac{91}{544} \approx 0.00218722 (d=4d=4). Thus, the total entanglement probability appears to equal (18π273)+281(43π21)=13270.481481(1-\frac{8 \pi }{27 \sqrt{3}})+\frac{2}{81} \left(4 \sqrt{3} \pi -21\right) = \frac{13}{27} \approx 0.481481.) The families, encompassing these results, are parameterized using generalized Choi and Jafarizadeh-Behzadi-Akbari witnesses. The same bound-entangled probability was achieved with both--the sets ("jagged islands") detected having void intersection. The entanglement (bound and "non-bound"/"free") probability for both was 160.16667\frac{1}{6} \approx 0.16667, while their union and intersection gave 290.22222\frac{2}{9} \approx 0.22222 and 190.11111\frac{1}{9} \approx 0.11111. Further, we examine generalized Horodecki states, as well as estimating PPT-probabilities of approximately 0.39339 (very well-fitted by 7π2550.39338962\frac{7 \pi}{25 \sqrt{5}} \approx 0.39338962) and 0.115732 ( for the original (8- [two-qutrit] and 15 [two-ququart]-dimensional) magic simplices themselves.
