Purification of impure density operators and the recovery of entanglements

Quantum Physics 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

The need to retain the relative phases in quantum mechanics implies an addition law parametrized by a phase of two density operators required for the purification of a density matrix. This is shown with quantum tomography and the Wigner function. Entanglement is determined in terms of phase dependent multiplication.
