Range Theorems for Quantum Probability and Entanglement

Quantum Physics 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

We consider the set of all matrices of the form pij=tr[W(EiFj)]p_{ij}=tr[W(E_{i}\otimes F_{j})] where EiE_{i}, FjF_{j} are projections on a Hilbert space HH, and WW is some state on HHH\otimes H. We derive the basic properties of this set, compare it with the classical range of probability, and note how its properties may be related to geometric measures of entanglement.
