Nonlinear entanglement witnesses, covariance matrices and the geometry of separable states

چکیده
Entanglement witnesses provide a standard tool for the analysis of entanglement in experiments. We investigate possible nonlinear entanglement witnesses from several perspectives. First, we demonstrate that they can be used to show that the set of separable states has no facets. Second, we give a new derivation of nonlinear witnesses based on covariance matrices. Finally, we investigate extensions to the multipartite case.

Investigating a Class of 2⊗ 2⊗ d Chessboard Density Matrices via Linear and Non-linear Entanglement Witnesses Constructed by Exact Convex Optimization
Here we consider a class of 2⊗ 2⊗ d chessboard density matrices starting with threequbit ones which have positive partial transposes with respect to all subsystems. To investigate the entanglement of these density matrices, we use the entanglement witness approach. For constructing entanglement witnesses (EWs) detecting these density matrices, we attempt to convert the problem to an exact conve...
متن کاملBell-states diagonal relativistic multispinor entanglement witnesses in arbitrary dimensions
Two kinds of Bell-states diagonal relativistic multispinor entanglement witnesses (EW) are constructed by using the Euclidean representation of the algebra of Dirac γ matrices in the space-time of arbitrary dimension d, where the first kind can detect some Bell-states diagonal m-partite multispinor bound entangled states in Hilbert space of dimension 2m⌊d/2⌋, including the bipartite relativisti...
متن کاملA general algorithm for manipulating non-linear and linear entanglement witnesses by using exact convex optimization
A generic algorithm is developed to reduce the problem of obtaining linear and nonlinear entanglement witnesses of a given quantum system, to convex optimization problem. This approach is completely general and can be applied for the entanglement detection of any N-partite quantum system. For this purpose, a map from convex space of separable density matrices to a convex region called feasible ...
متن کاملDetecting three-qubit bound MUB diagonal entangled states via Nonlinear optimal entanglement witnesses
One of the important approaches to detect quantum entanglement is using linear entanglement witnesses (EW s). In this paper, by determining the envelope of the boundary hyper-planes defined by a family of linear EW s, a set of powerful nonlinear optimal EW s is manipulated. These EW s enable us to detect some three qubits bound MUB (mutually unbiased bases) diagonal entangled states, i.e., the ...
متن کاملEntanglement and the geometry of two qubits
We review entanglement in the context of two qubits. Equivalence under appropriate local operations leads to a representation of the notions of entangled and separable states and entanglement witnesses geometrically in 3 dimensions. The corresponding four dimensional description captures, in addition, the entanglement measure and en-tanglement distillation geometrically. We give a neat formula ...
