Rational-Valued, Small-Prime-Based Qubit-Qutrit and Rebit-Retrit Rank-4/Rank-6 Conjectured Hilbert-Schmidt Separability Probability Ratios
Abstract
We implement a procedure-based on the Wishart-Laguerre distribution-recently outlined by {\.Z}yczkowski and Khvedelidze, Rogojin and Abgaryan, for the generation of random (complex or real) density matrices of rank with respect to Hilbert-Schmidt (HS) measure. In the complex case, one commences with a Ginibre matrix of dimensions , while for a real scenario, one employs a Ginibre matrix of dimensions . Then, the product or is diagonalized-padded with zeros to size -and rotated, obtaining a random density matrix. Implementing the procedure for rank-4 rebit-retrit states, for 800 million Ginibre-matrix realizations, 6,192,047 were found separable, for a sample probability of .00774006-suggestive of an exact value . A conjecture for the HS separability probability of rebit-retrit systems of full rank is (the two-rebit counterpart has been proven to be ). Subject to these conjectures, the ratio of the rank-4 to rank-6 probabilities would be , with the common factor 43 cancelling. As to the intermediate rank-5 probability, a 2006 theorem of Szarek, Bengtsson and {\.Z}ycskowski informs us that it must be one-half the rank-6 probability-itself conjectured to be , while for rank 3 or less, the associated probabilities must be 0 by a 2009 result of Ruskai and Werner. We are led to re-examine a 2005 qubit-qutrit analysis of ours, in these regards, and now find evidence for a rank-4 to rank-6 probability ratio.
