Abstract

Given a PPT state A=i=1nAiBiMkMkA=\sum_{i=1}^nA_i\otimes B_i \in M_k\otimes M_k and a vector v(A)CkCkv\in\Im(A)\subset\mathbb{C}^k\otimes\mathbb{C}^k with tensor rank kk, we provide an algorithm that checks whether the positive map GA:MkMkG_A:M_k\rightarrow M_k, GA(X)=i=1ntr(AiX)BiG_A(X)=\sum_{i=1}^n tr(A_iX)B_i, is equivalent to a doubly stochastic map. This procedure is based on the search for Perron eigenvectors of completely positive maps and unique solutions of, at most, kk unconstrained quadratic minimization problems. As a corollary, we can check whether this state can be put in the filter normal form. This normal form is an important tool for studying quantum entanglement. An extension of this procedure to PPT states in MkMmM_k\otimes M_m is also presented.
