We explore procedures to detect entanglement of unknown mixed states, which can be experimentally viable. The heart of the method is a hierarchy of simple feasibility problems, which provides sufficient conditions to entanglement. Our numerical investigations indicate that the entanglement is detected with a cost which is much lower than full state tomography. The procedure is applicable to both free and bound entanglements and involves only single copy measurements.

Detecting entanglement of unknown quantum states with random measurements
TLDR
This work investigates the use of random local measurements, from which entanglement witnesses are then constructed via semidefinite programming methods, and proposes a scheme of successively increasing the number of measurements until the presence ofEntanglement can be unambiguously concluded.
Fast entanglement detection for unknown states of two spatial qutrits

Experimental quantum tomography of photonic qudits via mutually unbiased basis.
TLDR
In this scheme, the higher dimensional quantum systems are encoded using the propagation modes of single photons, and the capabilities of amplitude- and phase-modulation of programmable spatial light modulators are taken to implement the MUB-QT.

Automated machine learning can classify bound entangled states with tomograms
TLDR
An Automated Machine Learning approach is presented to classify random states of two qutrits as separable or entangled using enough data to perform a quantum state tomography, without any direct measurement of its entanglement.
VARIATIONAL QUANTUM TOMOGRAPHY WITH INCOMPLETE INFORMATION BY MEANS OF SEMIDEFINITE PROGRAMS
TLDR
A new method to reconstruct unknown quantum states out of incomplete and noisy information is introduced, which is a linear convex optimization problem with a unique minimum, which can be efficiently solved with Semidefinite Programs.

Novel schemes for directly measuring entanglement of general states.
TLDR
It is demonstrated that rank-1 local factorizable projective measurements, which are achievable with only one copy of an entangled state involved at a time in a sequential way, are sufficient to directly determine the concurrence of an arbitrary two-qubit entangled state.
Witnessed Entanglement
We present a new measure of entanglement for mixed states. It can be approximately computable for every state and can be used to quantify all different types of multipartite entanglement. We show…

TLDR
This method provides an operational criterion for separability which is asymptotically necessary and sufficient and generalized to detect all different types of multipartite entanglement.

We show that bipartite concurrence for rank-2 mixed states of qubits is written by an observable which can be exactly and directly measurable in experiment by local projective measurements, provided…
Observable entanglement measure for mixed quantum States.
TLDR
An unknown mixed quantum state's entanglement is quantified by suitable, local parity measurements on its twofold copy by identifying the associated observable as a generalized entanglements witness.
Mixed-State Entanglement and Distillation: Is there a “Bound” Entanglement in Nature?
It is shown that if a mixed state can be distilled to the singlet form it must violate partial transposition criterion [A. Peres, Phys. Rev. Lett. 76, 1413 (1996)]. It implies that there are two…
Quantitative entanglement witnesses
TLDR
All these tests—based on the very same data—give rise to quantitative estimates in terms of entanglement measures, and if a test is strongly violated, one can also infer that the state was quantitatively very much entangled, in the bipartite and multipartite setting.

TLDR
A brief overview of the concept of entanglement in quantum mechanics is given, and the major results and open problems related to the recent scientific progress in this field are discussed.
