Two-Qubit Separability Probabilities as Joint Functions of the Bloch Radii of the Qubit Subsystems
Abstract
We detect a certain pattern of behavior of separability probabilities for two-qubit systems endowed with Hilbert-Schmidt, and more generally, random induced measures, where and are the Bloch radii () of the qubit reduced states (). We observe a relative repulsion of radii effect, that is , except for rather narrow "crossover" intervals . Among the seven specific cases we study are, firstly, the "toy" seven-dimensional -states model and, then, the fifteen-dimensional two-qubit states obtained by tracing over the pure states in -dimensions, for , with corresponding to Hilbert-Schmidt (flat/Euclidean) measure. We also examine the real (two-rebit) , the -states , and Bures (minimal monotone)--for which no nontrivial crossover behavior is observed--instances. In the two -states cases, we derive analytical results, for , we propose formulas that well-fit our numerical results, and for the other scenarios, rely presently upon large numerical analyses. The separability probability crossover regions found expand in length (lower ) as increases. This report continues our efforts (arXiv:1506.08739) to extend the recent work of Milz and Strunz (J. Phys. A: 48 [2015] 035306) from a univariate () framework---in which they found separability probabilities to hold constant with ---to a bivariate () one. We also analyze the two-qutrit and qubit-qutrit counterparts reported in arXiv:1512.07210 in this context, and study two-qubit separability probabilities of the form .
