Abstract We compare the entanglement of formation with a measure defined as the modulus of the negative eigenvalue of the partial transpose. In particular we investigate whether both measures give the same ordering of density operators with respect to the amount of entanglement

### ENTANGLEMENT MEASURE OF BIPARTITE SYSTEM STATES

• Physics
• 2010
Linear entropy as a measure of entanglement is applied to explain conditions for minimal and maximal entanglement of bipartite nonorthogonal pure states. We formulate this measure in terms of the

### The separability versus entanglement problem

• Physics
• 2005
We present a review of the problem of finding out whether a quantum state of two or more parties is entangled or separable. After a formal definition of entangled states, we present a few criteria

### An Introduction to Quantum Entanglement: A Geometric Approach

• Physics
• 2006
We present a concise introduction to quantum entanglement. Concentrating on bipartite systems we review the separability criteria and measures of entanglement. We focus our attention on geometry of

### Description of entanglement in terms of quantum phase

• Physics
• 2002
We explore the role played by the phase in an accurate description of the entanglement of bipartite systems. We first present an appropriate polar decomposition that leads to a truly Hermitian

### An Introduction to Entanglement Theory

• Physics
• 2014
We review the theory of entanglement measures, concentrating mostly on the finite dimensional two-party case. We begin with a non technical introduction, followed by topics such as: single-copy and

### Fidelity of mixed states of two qubits

• Mathematics
• 2002
We consider a single copy of a mixed state of two qubits and show how its fidelity or maximal singlet fraction is related to the entanglement measures concurrence and negativity. We characterize the

### Maximally Entangled Mixed States in two Qubits

• Physics
• 2002
We propose novel mixed states in two qubits, which have a property that the amount of entanglement of these states cannot be increased by any unitary transformation. The corresponding entanglement of

### Predominance of entanglement of formation over quantum discord under quantum channels

We present a study of the behavior of two different figures of merit for quantum correlations, entanglement of formation and quantum discord, under quantum channels showing how the former can,

### Entanglement-induced state ordering under local operations

• Physics, Computer Science
• 2006
This work shows that a set of maximally entangled states is by the action of local channels transformed into the set of states that exhibit the same degree of entanglement.

### The Schmidt number as a universal entanglement measure

• Physics
• 2009
The class of local invertible operations is defined, and the invariance of entanglement under such operations is established. For the quantification of entanglement, universal entanglement measures

### Statistical Inference, Distinguishability of Quantum States, And Quantum Entanglement

• Physics
• 1997
We argue from the point of view of statistical inference that the quantum relative entropy is a good measure for distinguishing between two quantum states (or two classes of quantum states) described

It is argued that the statistical basis of the measure of entanglement determines an upper bound to the number of singlets that can be obtained by any purification procedure.

### Entanglement of Formation of an Arbitrary State of Two Qubits

The entanglement of a pure state of a pair of quantum systems is defined as the entropy of either member of the pair. The entanglement of formation of a mixed state is defined as the minimum average

Composed ensembles of random unitary matrices are defined via products of matrices, each pertaining to a given canonical circular ensemble of Dyson. We investigate statistical properties of spectra

Purification schemes for multiparticle entangled states cannot be treated as straightforward extensions of those two-particle ones because of the lack of symmetry they possess. We propose

Any pure or mixed entangled state of two systems can be produced by two classically communicating separated observers, drawing on a supply of singlets as their sole source of entanglement.

It is shown that during teleportation, one of a pair of entangled photons are subjected to a measurement such that the second photon of the entangled pair acquires the polarization of the initial photon.

It is proved that an EPP involving one-way classical communication and acting on mixed state M (obtained by sharing halves of Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen pairs through a channel) yields a QECC on \ensuremath{\chi} with rate Q=D, and vice versa, and it is proved Q is not increased by adding one- way classical communication.

A quantum system is called inseparable if its density matrix cannot be written as a mixture of product states. In this Letter we apply the separability criterion, local filtering, and Bennett et al.
