Abstract

Special unextendible entangled basis of "type kk" (SUEBk), a set of incomplete orthonormal special entangled states of "type kk" whose complementary space has no special entangled state of "type kk". This concept can be seem as a generalization of the unextendible product basis (UPB) introduced by Bennett et al. in [ Phys. Rev. Lett. \textbf{82}, 5385(1999) ] and the unextendible maximally entangled basis (UMEB) introduced by Bravyi and Smolin in [Phys. Rev. A \textbf{84}, 042306(2011)]. We present an efficient method to construct sets of SUEBk. The main strategy here is to decompose the whole space into two subspaces such that the rank of one subspace can be easily upper bounded by kk while the other one can be generated by two kinds of the special entangled states of type kk. This method is very effective for those k=pm3k=p^m\geq 3 where pp is a prime number. For these cases, we can otain sets of SUEBk with continuous integer cardinality when the local dimensions are large. Moreover, one can find that our method here can be easily extended when there are more than two kinds of the special entangled states of type kk at hand.
