We analyze the separability properties of density operators supported on $\C^2\otimes \C^N$ whose partial transposes are positive operators. We show that if the rank of $\rho$ equals N then it is separable, and that bound entangled states…

We investigate separability and entanglement of mixed states in ${\cal C}^2\otimes{\cal C}^2\otimes{\cal C}^N$ three party quantum systems. We show that all states with positive partial transposes that have rank $\le N$ are separable. For…

A quantum system consisting of two subsystems is separable if its density matrix can be written as $\rho=\sum_A w_A\,\rho_A'\otimes\rho_A''$, where $\rho_A'$ and $\rho_A''$ are density matrices for the two subsytems. In this Letter, it is…
We give a necessary and sufficient condition for a mixed quantum mechanical state to be separable. The criterion is formulated as a boundedness condition in terms of the greatest cross norm on the tensor product of trace class operators.
A general separability condition on the second moment (covariance matrix) for continuous variable two-party systems is derived by an analysis analogous to the derivation of the Kennard's uncertainty relation without referring to the…
A quantum system consisting of two subsystems is separable if its density matrix can be written as $\rho=\sum w_K \rho_K'\otimes \rho_K''$, where $\rho_K'$ and $\rho_K''$ are density matrices for the two subsytems, and the positive weights…
We investigate the separability of arbitrary dimensional tripartite sys- tems. By introducing a new operator related to transformations on the subsystems a necessary condition for the separability of tripartite systems is presented.
We provide a constructive algorithm to find the best separable approximation to an arbitrary density matrix of a composite quantum system of finite dimensions. The method leads to a condition of separability and to a measure of…
We derive a separability criterion for bipartite quantum systems which generalizes the already known criteria. It is based on observables having generic commutation relations. We then discuss in detail the relation among these criteria.
We apply the inseparability criterion for $2 \times 2$ systems, local filtering and Bennett et al. purification protocol [Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 76}, 722 (1996)] to show how to distill {\it any} inseparable $2\times 2$ system. The extended…
A density operator of a bipartite quantum system is called robustly separable if it has a neighborhood of separable operators. Given a bipartite density matrix, its property to be robustly separable is reduced, using the continuous ensemble…
We give necessary and sufficient conditions under which a density matrix acting on a two-fold tensor product space is separable. Our conditions are given in terms of quantum conditional information transmission.
We present a general description of separable states in Quantum Mechanics. In particular, our result gives an easy proof that inseparabitity (or entanglement) is a pure quantum (noncommutative) notion. This implies that distinction between…
The notion of partial trace of a density operator is essential for the understanding of the entanglement and separability properties of quantum states. In this paper we investigate these notions putting an emphasis on the geometrical…

We study bipartite entanglement in systems of N identical bosons distributed in M different modes. For such systems, a definition of separability not related to any a priori Hilbert space tensor product structure is needed and can be given…
We study the distillability of a certain class of bipartite density operators which can be obtained via depolarization starting from an arbitrary one. Our results suggest that non-positivity of the partial transpose of a density operator is…
