Probability density function characterization of multipartite entanglement

Quantum Physics 2009-11-13 v2

Abstract

We propose a method to characterize and quantify multipartite entanglement for pure states. The method hinges upon the study of the probability density function of bipartite entanglement and is tested on an ensemble of qubits in a variety of situations. This characterization is also compared to several measures of multipartite entanglement.
