Moment-based PPT criteria for random bipartite states
Abstract
Moment-based relaxations of the positive partial transpose (PPT) criterion have been recently introduced, as a hierarchy of entanglement criteria involving only experimentally accessible quantities of a given bipartite state. The goal of this work is to study their typical detection performance on high-dimensional bipartite systems. Concretely, we investigate whether random bipartite mixed states on , obtained as the marginal over an environment of a uniformly distributed pure state, generically satisfy or violate them. For each fixed level in this hierarchy of moment-based PPT criteria, we are able to identify a threshold environment dimension at which the behavior of the associated random state switches from violating to satisfying it, with probability going to as grows. The proof combines combinatorics of permutations techniques to estimate the average value of moments of partially transposed random states and concentration of measure arguments to bound the probability of deviating from such average, when the underlying local dimension is large. We additionally need tools from the theory of Hankel determinant evaluation via orthogonal polynomials.
