Polynomial method to study the entanglement of pure N-qubit states

Quantum Physics 2015-05-13 v2

Abstract

We present a mapping which associates pure N-qubit states with a polynomial. The roots of the polynomial characterize the state completely. Using the properties of the polynomial we construct a way to determine the separability and the number of unentangled qubits of pure N-qubit states.
