Optimal entanglement criterion for mixed quantum states.
We develop a strong and computationally simple entanglement criterion. The criterion is based on an elementary positive map Phi which operates on state spaces with even dimension N > or = 4. It is shown that Phi detects many entangled states with a positive partial transposition (PPT) and that it leads to a class of optimal entanglement witnesses. This implies that there are no other witnesses ...
متن کاملOptimal quantum detectors for unambiguous detection of mixed states
We consider the problem of designing an optimal quantum detector that distinguishes unambiguously between a collection of mixed quantum states. Using arguments of duality in vector space optimization, we derive necessary and sufficient conditions for an optimal measurement that minimizes the probability of an inconclusive result. We show that the previous optimal measurements that were derived ...
متن کاملPreparation information and optimal decompositions for mixed quantum states
Consider a joint quantum state of a system and its environment. A measurement on the environment induces a decomposition of the system state. Using algorithmic information theory, we define the preparation information of a pure or mixed state in a given decomposition. We then define an optimal decomposition as a decomposition for which the average preparation information is minimal. The average...
متن کاملNon-Hermitian Quantum Systems and Time-Optimal Quantum Evolution
Recently, Bender et al. have considered the quantum brachistochrone problem for the non-Hermitian PT -symmetric quantum system and have shown that the optimal time evolution required to transform a given initial state |ψi〉 into a specific final state |ψf 〉 can be made arbitrarily small. Additionally, it has been shown that finding the shortest possible time requires only the solution of the two...
متن کاملEvolution of Pure States into Mixed States
In the formulation of Banks, Peskin and Susskind, we show that one can construct evolution equations for the quantum mechanical density matrix ρ with operators which do not commute with hamiltonian which evolve pure states into mixed states, preserve the normalization and positivity of ρ and conserve energy. Furthermore, it seems to be different from a quantum mechanical system with random sour...
