Nonstrict inequality for Schmidt coefficients of three-qubit states

Quantum Physics 2013-11-26 v3

Abstract

Generalized Schmidt decomposition of pure three-qubit states has four positive and one complex coefficients. In contrast to the bipartite case, they are not arbitrary and the largest Schmidt coefficient restricts severely other coefficients. We derive a nonstrict inequality between three-qubit Schmidt coefficients, where the largest coefficient defines the least upper bound for the three nondiagonal coefficients or, equivalently, the three nondiagonal coefficients together define the greatest lower bound for the largest coefficient. In addition, we show the existence of another inequality which should establish an upper bound for the remaining Schmidt coefficient.
