Density Matrix Diagonal-Block Lovas-Andai-type singular-value ratios for qubit-qudit separability/PPT probability analyses
Abstract
An important variable in the 2017 analysis of Lovas and Andai, formally establishing the Hilbert-Schmidt separability probability conjectured by Slater of for the 9-dimensional convex set of two-rebit density matrices, was the ratio () of the two singular values () of . There, and were the diagonal blocks of a two-rebit density matrix . Working within the Lovas-Andai "separability function" () framework, Slater was able to verify further conjectures of Hilbert-Schmidt separability probabilities of and for the 15-dimensional and 26-dimensional convex sets of two-qubit and two-quater[nionic]-bit density matrices. Here, we investigate the behavior of the three singular value ratios of , where now and are the diagonal blocks of rebit-retrit and qubit-qutrit density matrices randomly generated with respect to Hilbert-Schmidt measure. Further, we initiate a parallel study employing density matrices. The motivation for this analysis is the conjectured relevance of these singular values in suitably extending to higher dimensional systems--an issue we also approach using certain novel numeric means. Section 3.3 of the 2017 A. Lovas doctoral dissertation (written in Hungarian) appears germane to such an investigation.
