Abstract

We first seek the rebit-retrit counterpart to the (formally proven by Lovas and Andai) two-rebit Hilbert-Schmidt separability probability of 2964=29260.453125\frac{29}{64} =\frac{29}{2^6} \approx 0.453125 and the qubit-qutrit analogue of the (strongly supported) value of 833=233110.242424\frac{8}{33} = \frac{2^3}{3 \cdot 11} \approx 0.242424. We advance the possibilities of a rebit-retrit value of 8606561=22543380.131078\frac{860}{6561} =\frac{2^2 \cdot 5 \cdot 43}{3^8} \approx 0.131078 and a qubit-qutrit one of 271000=(310)3=332353=0.027\frac{27}{1000} = (\frac{3}{10})^3 =\frac{3^3}{2^3 \cdot 5^3} = 0.027. These four values for 2×m2 \times m systems (m=2,3m=2,3) suggest certain numerator/denominator sequences involving powers of mm, which we further investigate for m>3m>3. Additionally, we find that the Hilbert-Schmidt separability/PPT-probabilities for the two-rebit, rebit-retrit and two-retrit XX-states all equal 163π20.54038\frac{16}{3 \pi^2} \approx 0.54038, as well as more generally, that the probabilities based on induced measures are equal across these three sets. Then, we extend the master Lovas-Andai formula to induced measures. For instance, the two-qubit function (k=0k=0) is χ~2,0(ε)=13ε2(4ε2)\tilde{\chi}_{2,0}(\varepsilon)=\frac{1}{3} \varepsilon^2 (4 -\varepsilon^2), yielding 833\frac{8}{33}, while its k=1k=1 induced measure counterpart is χ~2,1(ε)=14ε2(3ε2)2\tilde{\chi}_{2,1}(\varepsilon)=\frac{1}{4} \varepsilon ^2 \left(3-\varepsilon ^2\right)^2, yielding 61143=6111130.426573\frac{61}{143} =\frac{61}{11 \cdot 13} \approx 0.426573, where ε\varepsilon is a singular-value ratio. Interpolations between Hilbert-Schmidt and operator monotone (Bures, x\sqrt{x}) measures are also studied. Using a recently-developed golden-ratio-related (quasirandom sequence) approach, current (significant digits) estimates of the two-rebit and two-qubit Bures separability probabilities are 0.15709 and 0.07331, respectively.
