A generic scheme for the parametrization of mixed state systems is introduced, which is then adapted to bipartite systems, especially to a 2-qubit system. Various features of 2-qubit entanglement are analyzed based on the scheme. Our…
We address the question of whether or not global entanglement of a quantum state can be inferred from local properties. Specifically, we are interested in genuinely multiparticle entangled states whose two-body marginals are all separable,…
The n-qubit real equally weighted states are employed in some quantum algorithms including Deutsch-Jozsa, Grover, Simon, and so on. We qualitatively investigate the entanglement properties of n-qubit real equally weighted states. Firstly,…
Genuine entanglement is the strongest form of multipartite entanglement. Genuinely entangled pure states contain entanglement in every bipartition and as such can be regarded as a valuable resource in the protocols of quantum information…
Using an inductive approach to classify multipartite entangled states under stochastic local operations and classical communication introduced recently by the authors [Phys. Rev. A 74, 052336 (2006)], we give the complete classification of…
In quantum systems, entanglement corresponds to nonclassical correlation of nonlocal observables. Thus, entanglement (or, to the contrary, separability) of a given quantum state is not uniquely determined by properties of the state, but may…
Experimental determination of entanglement is important not only to characterize the state and use it in quantum information, but also in understanding complicated phenomena such as phase transitions. In this paper we show that in many…
A pure multipartite quantum state is called absolutely maximally entangled if all reductions of no more than half of the parties are maximally mixed. However, an $n$-qubit absolutely maximally entangled state only exists when $n$ equals…
We investigate the properties of different levels of entanglement in graph states which correspond to connected graphs. Combining the operational definition of graph states and the postulates of entanglement measures, we prove that in…
In this Letter we present a new quantity that shows whether two general qubit systems are entangled, which we call harmony. It captures the notion of separability and maximal entanglement. It is also shown that harmony is monogamous for…
Quantum entanglement in multipartite systems cannot be shared freely. In order to illuminate basic rules of entanglement sharing between qubits we introduce a concept of an entangled structure (graph) such that each qubit of a multipartite…
The state of an entangled q-bit pair is specified by 15 numerical parameters that are naturally regarded as the components of two 3-vectors and a $3\times3$-dyadic. There are easy-to-use criteria to check whether a given pair of 3-vectors…
Closed formulae for upper bound on three tangles of three-qubit reduced states in terms of three-qubit invariant polynomials of pure four-qubit states are obtained. Our results offer tighter constraints on total three-way entanglement of a…
We reduce the necessary and sufficient biseparable conditions of the four qubit cluster diagonal state to concise forms. Only 4 out of the 15 parameters are proved to be relevant in specifying the genuine entanglement of the state. Using…
We investigate whether pure entangled states can be associated to a measurement basis in which all vectors are local unitary transformations of the original state. We prove that for bipartite states with a local dimension that is either $2,…
We explore some basic entanglement features of multiqubit systems that are relevant for the development of algorithms for searching highly entangled states. In particular, we compare the behaviours of multiqubit entanglement measures based…
A maximally entangled state is a quantum state which has maximum von Neumann entropy for each bipartition. Through proposing a new method to classify quantum states by using concurrences of pure states of a region, one can apply Bell's…
The problem of of how many entangled or, respectively, separable states there are in the set of all quantum states is investigated. We study to what extent the choice of a measure in the space of density matrices describing N--dimensional…
Ordering and classifying multipartite quantum states by their entanglement content remains an open problem. One class of highly entangled states, useful in quantum information protocols, the absolutely maximally entangled (AME) ones, are…
We derive a general framework to identify genuinely multipartite entangled mixed quantum states in arbitrary-dimensional systems and show in exemplary cases that the constructed criteria are stronger than those previously known. Our…
