It is well known that the maximal violation of the Bell's inequality for a two-qubit system is related to the entanglement formation in terms of a concurrence. However, a generalization of this relation to an $n$-qubit state has not been…

We consider the separability of various joint states for N qutrits. We derive two results: (i) the separability condition for a two-qutrit state that is a mixture of the maximally mixed state and a maximally entangled state (such a state is…

A simplified expression of concurrence for two-qubit mixed state having no more than three non-vanishing eigenvalues is obtained. Basing on SU(2) coherent states, the amount of entanglement of two-qubit pure states is studied and conditions…
