On the Bures Volume of Separable Quantum States
نویسنده
چکیده
We obtain two sided estimates for the Bures volume of an arbitrary subset of the set of N ×N density matrices, in terms of the Hilbert-Schmidt volume of that subset. For general subsets, our results are essentially optimal (for large N). As applications, we derive in particular nontrivial lower and upper bounds for the Bures volume of sets of separable states and for sets of states with positive partial transpose.

On the comparison of volumes of quantum states
This paper aims to study the α-volume of K, an arbitrary subset of the set of N ×N density matrices. The α-volume is a generalization of the Hilbert-Schmidt volume and the volume induced by partial trace. We obtain two-side estimates for the α-volume of K in terms of its Hilbert-Schmidt volume. The analogous estimates between the Bures volume and the α-volume are also established. We employ our...

We propose a reliable entanglement measure for a two-mode squeezed thermal state of the quantum electromagnetic field in terms of its Bures distance to the set of all separable states of the same kind. The requisite Uhlmann fidelity of a pair of two-mode squeezed thermal states is evaluated as the maximal transition probability between two four-mode purifications. By applying the Peres-Simon cr...

Using the natural connection equivalent to the SU (2) Yang-Mills instanton on the quaternionic Hopf fibration of S 7 over the quaternionic projective space HP 1 ≃ S 4 with an SU (2) ≃ S 3 fiber the geometry of entanglement for two qubits is investigated. The relationship between base and fiber i.e. the twisting of the bundle corresponds to the entanglement of the qubits. The measure of entangle...
متن کاملBures volume of the set of mixed quantum states
We compute the volume of the (N2 − 1)-dimensional set MN of density matrices of size N with respect to the Bures measure and show that it is equal to that of an (N2 − 1)-dimensional hyper-hemisphere of radius 1/2. For N = 2 we obtain the volume of the Uhlmann hemisphere, 2 S 3 ⊂ R. We find also the area of the boundary of the set MN and obtain analogous results for the smaller set of all real d...
متن کاملEntanglement on mixed stabilizer states: normal forms and reduction procedures
The stabilizer formalism allows the efficient description of a sizeable class of pure as well as mixed quantum states of n-qubit systems. That same formalism has important applications in the field of quantum error correcting codes, where mixed stabilizer states correspond to projectors on subspaces associated with stabilizer codes. In this paper, we derive efficient reduction procedures to obt...
