Multimode uncertainty relations and separability of continuous variable states.
نویسنده
چکیده
A multimode uncertainty relation (generalizing the Robertson-Schrödinger relation) is derived as a necessary constraint on the second moments of n pairs of canonical operators. In turn, necessary conditions for the separability of multimode continuous variable states under (m+n)-mode bipartitions are derived from the uncertainty relation. These conditions are proven to be necessary and sufficient for (1+n)-mode Gaussian states and for (m+n)-mode bisymmetric Gaussian states.

Entanglement in continuous variable systems: Recent advances and current perspectives
We review the theory of continuous-variable entanglement with special emphasis on foundational aspects, conceptual structures, and mathematical methods. Much attention is devoted to the discussion of separability criteria and entanglement properties of Gaussian states, for their great practical relevance in applications to quantum optics and quantum information, as well as for the very clean fr...
متن کاملPeres-horodecki separability criterion for continuous variable systems
The Peres-Horodecki criterion of positivity under partial transpose is studied in the context of separability of bipartite continuous variable states. The partial transpose operation admits, in the continuous case, a geometric interpretation as mirror reflection in phase space. This recognition leads to uncertainty principles, stronger than the traditional ones, to be obeyed by all separable st...
متن کاملWhen Non-Gaussian States are Gaussian: Generalization of Non-Separability Criterion for Continuous Variables
Whether a quantum state is entangled or not represents a very important question in quantum-information theory. Such knowledge reveals whether one can take advantage of the non-local properties of the state in quantum protocols such as quantum teleportation [1] and quantum cryptography [2]. This issue has been dealt with by many authors in recent years primarily in qubit systems where the Peres...
متن کاملSeparability conditions from entropic uncertainty relations
Separability is the property that distinguishes statistical ensembles that have a classical description from the ones that need a quantum description. As a matter of fact, the definition of entanglement is the formal negation of the separability condition [1]. In spite of this clear logical distinction between separable and entangled states, the borderline between these two sets is very difficu...
متن کاملOn the separability criterion for continuous variable systems
We present an elementary and explicit proof of the separability criterion for continuous variable two-party Gaussian systems. Our proof is based on an elementary formulation of uncertainty relations and an explicit determination of squeezing parameters for which the P-representation condition saturates the Sp(2, R) ⊗ Sp(2, R) invariant separability condition. We thus give the explicit formulas ...
