The optimal (pure state) ensemble length of a separable state, A, is the minimum number of (pure) product states needed in convex combination to construct A. We study the set of all separable states with optimal (pure state) ensemble length…
It is known that, in an $(m \otimes n)$-dimensional quantum system, the maximum dimension of a subspace that contains only entangled states is (m-1)(n-1). We show that the exact same bound is tight if we require the stronger condition that…
We present the PPT square conjecture introduced by M. Christandl. We prove the conjecture in the case $n=3$ as a consequence of the fact that two-qutrit PPT states have Schmidt at most two. Our result in Lemma 3 is independent from the…
We extend the classification of mixed states of quantum systems composed of arbitrary number of subsystems of arbitrary dimensions. This extended classification is complete in the sense of partial separability and gives 1+18+1 partial…
This paper present a geometric diagram of a separable state: If a mixed state $\sigma $ is separable, there are $2^{nS(\sigma)}$ linearly independant product vectors which span the same Hilbert space as the $2^{nS(\sigma)}$ ``likely''…
Usual separability criteria applicable to distinguishable particles are not applicable to identical particles. Here we show that Partial transposition and symmetrization (or anti symmetrization) of density matrix of bipartite boson systems…
Two elements, $x$ and $y$, are separated by a set $S$ if it contains exactly one of $x$ and $y$. We prove that any set of $n$ points in general position in the plane can be separated by $O(n\log\log n/\log n)$ convex sets, and for some…
A convex cone is said to be projectionally exposed (p-exposed) if every face arises as a projection of the original cone. It is known that, in dimension at most four, the intersection of two p-exposed cones is again p-exposed. In this paper…
In this expository note, we explain facial structures for the convex cones consisting of positive linear maps, completely positive linear maps, decomposable positive linear maps between matrix algebras, respectively. These will be applied…
A new notion of face relative interior for convex sets in topological real vector spaces is introduced in this work. Face relative interior is grounded in the facial structure, and may capture the geometry of convex sets in topological…
We construct three-qubit entanglement witnesses with the properties that all the partial transposes have the spanning properties. These witnesses determine faces for separable states whose interior lies in the interior of PPT states, and so…
We consider the convex set of positive operator valued measures (POVM) which are covariant under a finite dimensional unitary projective representation of a group. We derive a general characterization for the extremal points, and provide…
We derive a general framework that connects every positive map with a corresponding witness for partial separability in multipartite quantum systems. We show that many previous approaches were intimately connected to the witnesses derived…
This paper is devoted to the study of the separability problem in the field of Quantum information theory. We deal mainly with the bipartite finite dimensional case and with two types of matrices, one of them being the PPT matrices. We…
We introduce and study bipartite quantum states that are invariant under the local action of the cyclic sign group. Due to symmetry, these states are sparse and can be parameterized by a triple of vectors. Their important semi-definite…
We study the convex set of all bipartite quantum states with fixed marginal states. The extremal states in this set have recently been characterized by Parthasarathy [Ann. Henri Poincar\'e (to appear), quant-ph/0307182, [1]]. Here we…
We show that the geometric phase between any two states, including orthogonal states, can be computed and measured using the notion of projective measurement, and we show that a topological number can be extracted in the geometric phase…
Bound entangled (BE) states are strange in nature: non-zero amount of free entanglement is required to create them but no free entanglement can be distilled from them under local operations and classical communication (LOCC). Even though…
The theory of positive maps plays a central role in operator algebras and functional analysis, and has countless applications in quantum information science. The theory was originally developed for operators acting on complex Hilbert…
A convex partition of a point set P in the plane is a planar partition of the convex hull of P with empty convex polygons or internal faces whose extreme points belong to P. In a convex partition, the union of the internal faces give the…
