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.
The geometric measure of entanglement of a pure quantum state is defined to be its distance to the space of product (seperable) states. Given an $n$-partite system composed of subsystems of dimensions $d_1,\ldots, d_n$, an upper bound for…
