Abstract

We analyze the entanglement measure C4C_4 for mixed states in general and for the transverse XY model. We come to the conclusion that it cannot serve alone for guaranteeing an entanglement of GHZ4GHZ_4-type. The genuine negativity calculated in Ref.~\cite{Hofmann14} isn't sufficient for that either and some additional measure of entanglement must be considered. In particular we study the transverse XY-model and find a non-zero C4C_4 measure which is of the same order of magnitude than the genuine negativity. Furthermore, we observe a feature in the C4C_4 values that resembles a destructive interference with the underlying concurrence.
