Continuous optimal ensembles I: A geometrical characterization of robustly separable quantum states
نویسنده
چکیده
A geometrical characterization of robustly separable (that is, remaining separable under sufficiently small variiations) mixed states of a bipartite quantum system is given. It is shown that the density matrix of any such state can be represented as a normal vector to a hypersurface in the Euclidean space of all self-adjoint operators in the state space of the whole system. The expression for this hypersurface is provided.

Coherent Transport of Single Photon in a Quantum Super-cavity with Mirrors Composed of Λ-Type Three-level Atomic Ensembles
In this paper, we study the coherent transport of single photon in a coupled resonator waveguide (CRW) where two threelevel Λ-type atomic ensembles are embedded in two separate cavities. We show that it is possible to control the photon transmission and reflection coefficients by using classical control fields. In particular, we find that the total photon transmission and reflection are achieva...
متن کاملCharacterization and properties of weakly optimal entanglement witnesses
We present an analysis of the properties and characteristics of weakly optimal entanglement witnesses, that is witnesses whose expectation value vanishes on at least one product vector. Any weakly optimal entanglement witness can be written as the form of Wwopt = σ − cmax σ I, where cmax σ is a non-negative number and I is the identity matrix. We show the relation between the weakly optimal wit...
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 کاملExplicit product ensembles for separable quantum states
We present a general method for constructing pure-product-state representations for density operators of N quantum bits. If such a representation has nonnegative expansion coefficients, it provides an explicit separable ensemble for the density operator. We derive the condition for separability of a mixture of the GreenbergerHorne-Zeilinger state with the maximally mixed state.
متن کاملBoundary of the Set of Separable States
The set of all separable quantum states is compact and convex. We focus on the two-qubit quanum system and study the boundary of the set. Then we give the criterion to determine whether a separable state is on the boundary. Some straightforward geometrical interpretations for entanglement are based on the concept and presented subsequently. PACS: 03.65.Bz.
