Towards efficient algorithm deciding separability of distributed quantum states

Abstract

It is pointed out that separability problem for arbitrary multi-partite states can be fully solved by a finite size, elementary recursive algorithm. In the worse case scenario, the underlying numerical procedure, may grow doubly exponentially with the state's rank. Nevertheless, we argue that for generic states, analysis of concurrence matrices essentially reduces the task of solving separability problem in m×nm \times n dimensions to solving a set of linear equations in about (mn+D1D)\binom{mn+D-1}{D} variables, where DD decreases with mnmn and for large mnmn it should not exceed 4. Moreover, the same method is also applicable to multipartite states where it is at least equally efficient.
