Probing the Hierarchy of Genuine Multipartite Entanglement with Generalized Latent Entropy
Abstract
We introduce generalization of the recently proposed \textit{Latent Entropy} (L-entropy) \cite{Basak:2024uwc} as a refined measure of genuine multipartite entanglement (GME) in pure states of -party quantum systems. Generalized L-entropy provides a natural ordering among -uniform states, maximising for absolutely maximally entangled states (AME), effectively capturing the hierarchical structure of multipartite entanglement. We analyze the behavior of this measure for -party Haar-random states and demonstrate that, in the large local-dimension limit, the maximal L-entropy saturates its upper bound for odd , while for even it approaches the bound asymptotically. Furthermore, we apply this framework to examine multipartite entanglement properties of quantum states in several variants of the Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev (SYK) model, including SYK, SYK, mass-deformed SYK, sparse SYK, and supersymmetric SYK model. The results demonstrate that the generalized L-entropy serves as a sensitive probe of multipartite entanglement, revealing how deformations influence quantum entanglement structure in such strongly interacting systems.
