Entanglement sharing among d qudits

چکیده
Consider a system consisting of n d-dimensional quantum particles (qudits), and suppose that we want to optimize the entanglement between each pair. One can ask the following basic question regarding the sharing of entanglement: what is the largest possible value Emax(n, d) of the minimum entanglement between any two particles in the system? Here we take the entanglement of formation as our measure of entanglement. For n = 3 and d = 2, that is, for a system of three qubits, the answer is known: Emax(3, 2) = 0.550. In this paper we consider a system of d qudits and show that Emax(d, d) ≥ 1. For the special case of three particles, where we can compare qubits to qutrits (that is, 3-dimensional particles), our results show that in a certain sense, qutrits can share entanglement better than qubits. PACS numbers: 03.67.-a, 03.65.Bz

The entanglement in a pure state of N qudits (d-dimensional distinguishable quantum particles) can be characterised by specifying how entangled its subsystems are. A generally mixed subsystem of m qudits is obtained by tracing over the other N−m qudits. We examine the entanglement in this mixed space of m qudits. We show that for a typical pure state of N qudits, its subsystems smaller than N/3...
متن کاملGeneration of qudits and entangled qudits
We propose schemes for the generation of d-level quantum states qudits and quantum entangled states of N qudits by adopting the polarization degree of freedom of photons. Arbitrary qudits can be prepared by putting d−1 identical and independent photons each with a given polarization into a single spatial and temporal mode. Then, by using N such qudits, linear optics, and proper projection measu...
متن کاملEntanglement Sharing: from Qubits to Gaussian States
It is a central trait of quantum information theory that there exist limitations to the free sharing of quantum correlations among multiple parties. Such monogamy constraints have been introduced in a landmark paper by Coffman, Kundu and Wootters, who derived a quantitative inequality expressing a trade-off between the couplewise and the genuine tripartite entanglement for states of three qubit...
متن کاملMulti-level, multi-party singlets as ground states and their role in entanglement distribution
We show that a singlet of many multi-level quantum systems arises naturally as the ground state of a physically-motivated Hamiltonian. The Hamiltonian simply exchanges the states of nearestneighbours in some network of qudits (d-level systems); the results are independent of the strength of the couplings or the network’s topology. We show that local measurements on some of these qudits project ...
متن کاملHigh-dimensional entanglement certification
Quantum entanglement is the ability of joint quantum systems to possess global properties (correlation among systems) even when subsystems have no definite individual property. Whilst the 2-dimensional (qubit) case is well-understood, currently, tools to characterise entanglement in high dimensions are limited. We experimentally demonstrate a new procedure for entanglement certification that is...
