Let $\bf{x}$ be a random variable with density $\rho(x)$ taking values in ${\mathbb R}^d$. We are interested in finding a representation for the shape of $\rho(x)$, i.e. for the orbit $\{ \rho(g\cdot x) | g\in E(d) \}$ of $\rho$ under the…

Two geometric phases of mixed quantum states, known as the interferometric phase and Uhlmann phase, are generalizations of the Berry phase of pure states. After reviewing the two geometric phases and examining their parallel-transport…

The geometric measure of entanglement (GME) quantifies how close a multi-partite quantum state is to the set of separable states under the Hilbert-Schmidt inner product. The GME can be non-multiplicative, meaning that the closest product…

The Groverian entanglement measure introduced earlier for pure quantum states [O. Biham, M.A. Nielsen and T. Osborne, Phys. Rev. A 65, 062312 (2002)] is generalized to the case of mixed states, in a way that maintains its operational…
