Entanglement convertibility for infinite-dimensional pure bipartite states

Measuring the entanglement of bipartite pure states

The problem of the experimental determination of the amount of entanglement of a bipartite pure state is addressed. We show that measuring a single observable does not suffice to determine the entanglement of a given unknown pure state of two particles. Possible minimal local measuring strategies are discussed and a comparison is made on the basis of their best achievable precision. PACS-number...

Entanglement splitting of pure bipartite quantum states

where % i is a density matrix for the nth subsystem, and the positive weights pi obey ∑ i pi = 1. Otherwise the system is called entangled – a property that exists only for quantum states. Several features of entanglement have been studied so far, e.g. how to concentrate entanglement of several pairs into more entangled fewer pairs (distillation or purification [1,2]) or how to transfer entangl...

An Entanglement Criterion for States in Infinite Dimensional Bipartite Quantum Systems

In this paper, an entanglement criterion for states in infinite dimensional bipartite quantum systems is presented. We generalize some of separability criterion that was recently introduced by Wu and Anandan in (Phys. Lett. A, 2002, 297, 4-8) to infinite dimensional bipartite quantum systems. In addition, we give an example aimed to illustrate the application of the theorem.
