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 describe a pure state of four qubits whose single-qubit density matrices are all maximally mixed and whose average entanglement as a system of two pairs of qubits appears to be maximal.

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…

In this paper we give the new sufficient conditions of entanglement for multipartite qubit density matrixes. We discuss in detail the case for tripartite qubit density matrixes. As a criterion in concrete application, its steps are quite…

The separable mixed 2-qubit X-states are classified in accordance with degeneracies in the spectrum of density matrices. It is shown that there are four classes of separable X-states, among them: one 4D family, a pair of 2D family and a…

We study the closest disentangled state to a given entangled state in any system (multi-party with any dimension). We obtain the set of equations the closest disentangled state must satisfy, and show that its reduction is strongly related…
