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''…
The trace distance (TD) possesses several of the good properties required for a faithful distance measure in the quantum state space. Despite its importance and ubiquitous use in quantum information science, one of its questionable…
We show that the third-order negativity provides a necessary and sufficient criterion for full separability of tripartite pure states, and extend this to mixed states beyond bipartite diagnostics such as negativity. As a minimal nontrivial…
A conceptually simpler proof of the separability criterion for two-qubit systems, which is referred to as "Hefei inequality" in literature, is presented. This inequality gives a necessary and sufficient separability criterion for any mixed…
Necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of a composite-system statistical operator, and, separately, for the possibility of its being correlated or uncorrelated, are derived in terms of its range dimension and the range…
The concept of entanglement is at the core of the theory of quantum information. In this paper a criterion for unentanglement of quantum states is proposed and proved. This criterion is natural, practical and easy to check.
Currently available separability criteria for continuous-variable states are generally based on the covariance matrix of quadrature operators. The well-known separability criterion of Duan et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 84, 2722 (2000)] and Simon…
A geometric understanding of entanglement is proposed based on local measurements. Taking recourse to the general structure of density matrices in the framework of Euclidean geometry, we first illustrate our approach for bipartite Werner…
We derive a collection of separability conditions for bipartite systems of dimensions d X d which is based on the entropic version of the uncertainty relations. A detailed analysis of the two-qubit case is given by comparing the new…
A version of Connes trace formula allows to associate a measure on the essential spectrum of a Schr\"odinger operator with bounded potential. In solid state physics there is another celebrated measure associated with such operators --- the…
We give a criterion of classicality for mixed states in terms of expectation values of a quantum observable. Using group representation theory we identify all cases when the criterion can be computed exactly in terms of the spectrum of a…
This work is an enquiry into the circumstances under which entropy methods can give an answer to the questions of both quantum separability and classical correlations of a composite state. Several entropy functionals are employed to examine…
We obtain sufficient conditions for a densely defined operator on the Fock space to be bounded or compact. Under the boundedness condition we then characterize the compactness of the operator in terms of its Berezin transform.
In the operator formalism of quantum mechanics, the density operator describes the complete statistics of a quantum state in terms of d^2 independent elements, where d is the number of possible outcomes for a precise measurement of an…
Detecting entanglement in many-body quantum systems is crucial but challenging, typically requiring multiple measurements. Here, we establish the class of states where measuring connected correlations in just $\textit{one}$ basis is…
We study an optimized measurement that discriminates two mixed quantum states with maximum confidence for each conclusive result, thereby keeping the overall probability of inconclusive results as small as possible. When the rank of the…
A decomposition form is introduced in this report to establish a criterion for the bi-partite separability of Bell diagonal states. A such criterion takes a quadratic form of the coefficients of a given Bell diagonal states and can be…
An addition rule of impure density operators, which provides a pure state density operator, is formulated. Quantum interference including visibility property is discussed in the context of the density operator formalism. A measure of…
It is known that a reliable geometric quantifier of discord-like correlations can be built by employing the so-called trace distance. This is used to measure how far the state under investigation is from the closest "classical-quantum" one.…
For a given Hamiltonian $H$ on a multipartite quantum system, one is interested in finding the energy $E_0$ of its ground state. In the separability approximation, arising as a natural consequence of measurement in a separable basis, one…
