Lewenstein-Sanpera Decomposition for $2\otimes 2$ Systems

Quantum Physics 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

As it is well known, every bipartite 222\otimes 2 density matrix can be obtained from Bell decomposable states via local quantum operations and classical communications (LQCC). Using this fact, the Lewenstein-Sanpera decomposition of an arbitrary bipartite 222\otimes 2 density matrix has been obtained through LQCC action upon Lewenstein-Sanpera decomposition of Bell decomposable states of 222\otimes 2 quantum systems, where the product states introduced by Wootters in [W. K. Wootters, Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 80} 2245 (1998)] form the best separable approximation ensemble for Bell decomposable states. It is shown that in these systems the average concurrence of the Lewenstein-Sanpera decomposition is equal to the concurrence of these states.
