چکیده

We report new results and generalizations of our work on unextendible product bases (UPB), uncompletable product bases and bound entanglement. We present a new construction for bound entangled states based on product bases which are only completable in a locally extended Hilbert space. We introduce a very useful representation of a product basis, an orthogonality graph. Using this representation we give a complete characterization of unextendible product bases for two qutrits. We present several generalizations of UPBs to arbitrary high dimensions and multipartite systems. We present a sufficient condition for sets of orthogonal product states to be distinguishable by separable superoperators. We prove that bound entangled states cannot help increase the distillable entanglement of a state beyond its regularized entanglement of formation assisted by bound entanglement.

We present a generic method to construct a product basis exhibiting Nonlocality Without Entanglement with n parties each holding a system of dimension at least n−1. This basis is generated via a quantum circuit made of control-Discrete Fourier Transform gates acting on the computational basis. The simplicity of our quantum circuit allows for an intuitive understanding of this new type of nonloc...

Positive maps for bound entangled states based on unextendible product bases

In this note I show how to construct positive maps from any bound entangled state based on an unextendible product basis. These positive maps exhibit the inseparability of the corresponding bound entangled states. I illustrate the construction with an example. Typeset using REVTEX 1 It has been shown in several papers of Horodecki et al. [1–3] that there exists an intimate connection between th...

The Minimum Size of Qubit Unextendible Product Bases

We investigate the problem of constructing unextendible product bases in the qubit case – that is, when each local dimension equals 2. The cardinality of the smallest unextendible product basis is known in all qubit cases except when the number of parties is a multiple of 4 greater than 4 itself. We construct small unextendible product bases in all of the remaining open cases, and we use graph ...

Distinguishability of complete and unextendible product bases

It is not always possible to distinguish multipartite orthogonal states if only local operation and classical communication (LOCC) are allowed. We prove that we cannot distinguish the states of an unextendible product bases (UPB) by LOCC even when infinite resources (infinite-dimensional ancillas, infinite number of operations). Moreover we give a method to check the LOCC distinguishability of ...
