Local description of quantum inseparability

چکیده
We show how to decompose any density matrix of the simplest binary composite systems, whether separable or not, in terms of only product vectors. We determine for all cases the minimal number of product vectors needed for such a decomposition. Separable states correspond to mixing from one to four pure product states. Inseparable states can be described as pseudomixtures of four or five pure product states, and can be made separable by mixing them with one or two pure product states. @S1050-2947~98!07206-0#

Information-theoretic aspects of quantum inseparability of mixed states
Information-theoretic aspects of quantum inseparability of mixed states are investigated in terms of the α-entropy inequalities and teleportation fidelity. Inseparability of mixed states is defined and a complete characterization of the inseparable 2 × 2 systems with maximally disordered subsystems is presented within the Hilbert-Schmidt space formalism. A connection between teleportation and n...
متن کاملQuantum Nonlocality and Inseparability
wK = 1. A necessary condition for separability is derived and is shown to be more sensitive than Bell’s inequality for detecting quantum inseparability. Moreover, collective tests of Bell’s inequality (namely, tests that involve several composite systems simultaneously) may sometimes lead to a violation of Bell’s inequality, even if the latter is satisfied when each composite system is tested s...
متن کاملQuery Inseparability by Games
We investigate conjunctive query inseparability of description logic knowledge bases (KBs) with respect to a given signature, a fundamental problem for KB versioning, module extraction, forgetting and knowledge exchange. We develop a game-theoretic technique for checking query inseparability of KBs expressed in fragments of Horn-ALCHI, and show a number of complexity results ranging from P to E...
متن کاملQuery Inseparability for Description Logic Knowledge Bases
We investigate conjunctive query inseparability of description logic (DL) knowledge bases (KBs) with respect to a given signature, a fundamental problem for KB versioning, module extraction, forgetting and knowledge exchange. We study the data and combined complexity of deciding KB query inseparability for fragments of Horn-ALCHI, including the DLs underpinning OWL 2 QL and OWL 2 EL. While all ...
متن کاملSeparability of mixed states: necessary and sufficient conditions
We provide necessary and sufficient conditions for the separability of mixed states. As a result we obtain a simple criterion of the separability for 2 x 2 and 2 x 3 systems. Here, the positivity of the partial transposition of a state is necessary and sufficient for its separability. However, this is not the case in general. Some examples of mixtures which demonstrate the utility of the criter...
