Title: Manipulating multiqudit entanglement witnesses by using linear programming

Abstract

A class of entanglement witnesses (EWs) called reduction-type entanglement witnesses is introduced, which can detect some multipartite entangled states including positive partial transpose ones with Hilbert space of dimension d{sub 1}(multiply-in-circle sign)d{sub 2}(multiply-in-circle sign){center_dot}{center_dot}{center_dot}(multiply-in-circle sign)d{sub n}. In fact the feasible regions of these EWs turn out to be convex polygons and hence the manipulation of them reduces to linear programming which can be solved exactly by using the simplex method. The decomposability and nondecomposability of these EWs are studied and it is shown that it has a close connection with eigenvalues and optimality of EWs. Also using the Jamiolkowski isomorphism, the corresponding possible positive maps, including the generalized reduction maps of Hall [Phys. Rev. A 72, 022311 (2005)] are obtained.

    We use robust semidefinite programs and entanglement witnesses to study the distillability of Werner states. We perform exact numerical calculations that show two-undistillability in a region of the state space, which was previously conjectured to be undistillable. We also introduce bases that yield interesting expressions for the distillability witnesses and for a tensor product of Werner states with an arbitrary number of copies.

    Let H{sup [N]}=H{sup [d{sub 1}]}x{center_dot}{center_dot}{center_dot}xH{sup [d{sub n}]} be a tensor product of Hilbert spaces and let {tau}{sub 0} be the closest separable state in the Hilbert-Schmidt norm to an entangled state {rho}{sub 0}. Let {tau}-tilde{sub 0} denote the closest separable state to {rho}{sub 0} along the line segment from I/N to {rho}{sub 0} where I is the identity matrix. Following A. O. Pittenger and M. H. Rubin [Linear Algebr. Appl. 346, 75 (2002)] a witness W{sub 0} detecting the entanglement of {rho}{sub 0} can be constructed in terms of I, {tau}{sub 0}, and {tau}-tilde{sub 0}. If representations of {tau}{sub 0}more » and {tau}-tilde{sub 0} as convex combinations of separable projections are known, then the entanglement of {rho}{sub 0} can be detected by local measurements. Guehne et al. [Phys. Rev. A 66, 062305 (2002)] obtain the minimum number of measurement settings required for a class of two-qubit states. We use our geometric approach to generalize their result to the corresponding two-qudit case when d is prime and obtain the minimum number of measurement settings. In those particular bipartite cases, {tau}{sub 0}={tau}-tilde{sub 0}. We illustrate our general approach with a two-parameter family of three-qubit bound entangled states for which {tau}{sub 0}{ne}{tau}-tilde{sub 0} and we show that our approach works for n qubits. We elaborated earlier [A. O. Pittenger, Linear Algebr. App. 359, 235 (2003)] on the role of a 'far face' of the separable states relative to a bound entangled state {rho}{sub 0} constructed from an orthogonal unextendible product base. In this paper the geometric approach leads to an entanglement witness expressible in terms of a constant times I and a separable density {mu}{sub 0} on the far face from {rho}{sub 0}. Up to a normalization this coincides with the witness obtained by Guehne et al. for the particular example analyzed there.« less

    We study entanglement witnesses that can be constructed with regard to the geometrical structure of the Hilbert-Schmidt space, i.e., we present how to use these witnesses in the context of quantifying entanglement and the detection of bound entangled states. We give examples for a particular three-parameter family of states that are part of the magic simplex of two-qutrit states.

    We construct entanglement witnesses with regard to the geometric structure of the Hilbert-Schmidt space and investigate the geometry of entanglement. In particular, for a two-parameter family of two-qutrit states that are part of the magic simplex, we calculate the Hilbert-Schmidt measure of entanglement. We present a method to detect bound entanglement which is illustrated for a three-parameter family of states. In this way, we discover new regions of bound entangled states. Furthermore, we outline how to use our method to distinguish entangled from separable states.

    It is shown that entanglement witnesses constructed via the family of spectral conditions are decomposable, i.e., cannot be used to detect bound entanglement. It supports several observations that bound entanglement reveals highly nonspectral features.
