Degree of Entanglement and Violation of Bell Inequality by Two-Spin-1/2 States

Bell inequality is violated by the quantum mechanical predictions made from an entangled state of the composite system. In this paper we examine this inequality and entanglement measures in the construction of the coherent states for two-qubit pure and mixed states. we find a link to some entanglement measures through some new parameters (amplitudes of coherent states). Conditions for maximal entanglement and separability are then established for both pure and mixed states. Finally, we analyze and compare the violation of Bell inequality for a class of mixed states with the degree of
entanglement by applying the formalism of Horodecki et al.     

Entanglement witnesses of four-qubit tripartite separable quantum states

A quantum entangled state is easily disturbed by noise and degenerates into a separable state. Compared to the entanglement with bipartite quantum systems, less progress has been made for the entanglement with multipartite quantum systems. For tripartite separability of a four-qubit system, we propose two entanglement witnesses, each of which corresponds to a necessary condition of tripartite separability. For the four-qubit GHZ state mixed with a W state and white noise, we prove that the necessary conditions of tripartite separability are also sufficient at W states side.     

Entanglement of Bell diagonal mixed states

A sufficient and necessary condition for separability of Bell diagonal mixed states for bipartite systems in higher dimensions is presented. Moreover, we present a necessary condition for genuine entanglement of Bell diagonal mixed states in higher dimensions for multipartite systems.     

Entanglement measure for pure <Emphasis Type="Italic">M</Emphasis> ⊗ <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis> bipartite quantum states

We propose an entanglement measure for pure M ? N bipartite quantum states. We obtain the measure by generalizing the equivalent measure for a 2 ? 2 system, via a 2 ? 3 system, to the general bipartite case. The measure emphasizes the role Bell states have, both for forming the measure and for experimentally measuring the entanglement. The form of the measure is similar to the generalized concurrence. In the case of 2 ? 3 systems, we prove that our measure, which is directly measurable, equals the concurrence. It is also shown that, in order to measure the entanglement, it is sufficient to measure the projections of the state onto a maximum of M(M ? 1)N(N ? 1)/2 Bell states.     

Separability criteria and entanglement witnesses for symmetric quantum states

We study the separability of symmetric bipartite quantum states and show that a single correlation measurement is sufficient to detect the entanglement of any bipartite symmetric state with a non-positive partial transpose. We also discuss entanglement conditions and entanglement witnesses for states with a positive partial transpose.     

Separability criterion for quantum effects

Entanglement of quantum states is absolutely essential for modern quantum sciences and technologies. It is natural to extend the notion of entanglement to quantum observables dual to quantum states. For quantum states, various separability criteria have been proposed to determine whether a given state is entangled. In this Letter, we propose a separability criterion for specific quantum effects (binary observables) that can be regarded as a dual version of the Bell–Clauser–Horne–Shimony–Holt (Bell–CHSH) inequality for quantum states. The violation of the dual version of the Bell–CHSH inequality is confirmed by using IBM's cloud quantum computer. As a consequence, the violation of our inequality rules out the maximal tensor product state space, that satisfies information causality and local tomography. As an application, we show that an entangled observable which violates our inequality is useful for quantum teleportation.     

Symmetric extensions of quantum States and local hidden variable theories

While all bipartite pure entangled states violate some Bell inequality, the relationship between entanglement and nonlocality for mixed quantum states is not well understood. We introduce a simple and efficient algorithmic approach for the problem of constructing local hidden variable theories for quantum states. The method is based on constructing a so-called symmetric quasiextension of the quantum state that gives rise to a local hidden variable model with a certain number of settings for the observers Alice and Bob.     

A Novel Scheme for Quantum Teleportation of N-Particle Generalized Bell-Type States Using Minimal Entanglement Resources

In this paper, we present an efficient scheme for the teleportation of an arbitrary N-particle generalized Bell-type state using a single Bell pair as entanglement channel. For odd and even N-particle states the scheme slightly differs and it is discussed in detail for the simplest cases, 3 and 4 particle states. Further, we have compared the quantum cost of our scheme with other teleportation schemes which use a single Bell pair as entanglement channel.

     

A Note on Quantum Bell Nonlocality and Quantum Entanglement for High Dimensional Quantum Systems

We study the Bell nonlocality of high dimensional quantum systems based on quantum entanglement. A quantitative relationship between the maximal expectation value B of Bell operators and the quantum entanglement concurrence C is obtained for even dimension pure states, with the upper and lower bounds of B governed by C.

     

High-Dimensional Bell State Analysis for Photon-Atoms Hybrid System

High-dimensional Bell state analysis (HDBSA) has great application potential in the high-capacity quantum communication and quantum information processing. In this paper, we propose a scheme to completely distinguish the 2^N-dimensional Bell states of a hybrid system with the help of the nonlinear interaction between the Λ-type atoms and a photon system. We use the unit-probability quantum teleportation with non-maximum entanglement as an example to show the application of HDBSA. Finally, we discuss its possible realization with current experimental techniques. Our HDBSA protocol may pave a new way for high-capacity long-distance quantum communication.

     

Collective uncertainty entanglement test

For a given pure state of a composite quantum system we analyze the product of its projections onto a set of locally orthogonal separable pure states. We derive a bound for this product analogous to the entropic uncertainty relations. For bipartite systems the bound is saturated for maximally entangled states and it allows us to construct a family of entanglement measures, we shall call collectibility. As these quantities are experimentally accessible, the approach advocated contributes to the task of experimental quantification of quantum entanglement, while for a three-qubit system it is capable to identify the genuine three-party entanglement.     

Large Violation of Bell Inequalities with Low Entanglement

In this paper we obtain violations of general bipartite Bell inequalities of order \({\frac{\sqrt{n}}{\log n}}\) with n inputs, n outputs and n-dimensional Hilbert spaces. Moreover, we construct explicitly, up to a random choice of signs, all the elements involved in such violations: the coefficients of the Bell inequalities, POVMs measurements and quantum states. Analyzing this construction we find that, even though entanglement is necessary to obtain violation of Bell inequalities, the entropy of entanglement of the underlying state is essentially irrelevant in obtaining large violation. We also indicate why the maximally entangled state is a rather poor candidate in producing large violations with arbitrary coefficients. However, we also show that for Bell inequalities with positive coefficients (in particular, games) the maximally entangled state achieves the largest violation up to a logarithmic factor.     

Strengthened Bell inequalities for orthogonal spin directions

We provide bounds on correlations of locally orthogonal observables in two-qubit separable states. These bounds strengthen the Bell inequality and improve upon some alternative entanglement criteria. They provide necessary and sufficient criteria for separability of pure states and test the correlations allowed by local hidden variable models against those allowed by separable quantum states.     

On Bell-Like Inequalities and Pseudo-Hermitian Operators

We review some well-known Bell inequalities, the relations between the Bell inequality and quantum separability, and the entanglement distillation of quantum states. Bell inequalities with pseudo Hermitian operators are also discussed.

Linear response of tripartite entanglement to infinitesimal noise

Recent experimental progress in prolonging the coherence time of a quantum system prompts us to explore the behavior of quantum entanglement at the beginning of the decoherence process. The response of the entanglement under an infinitesimal noise can serve as a signature of the robustness of entangled states. A crucial problem of this topic in multipartite systems is to compute the degree of entanglement in a mixed state. We find a family of global noise in three-qubit systems, which is composed of four W states. Under its influence, the linear response of the tripartite entanglement of a symmetrical three-qubit pure state is studied. A lower bound of the linear response is found to depend completely on the initial tripartite and bipartite entanglement. This result shows that the decay of tripartite entanglement is hastened by the bipartite one.     

Scheme for Realizing Probabilistic Teleportation of Bipartite Photonic States via Linear Optical Elements

We propose a probabilistic scheme for realizing teleportation of bipartite photonic states using linear optical elements where only requires a two-photon Bell state used as quantum channel. It reduces the requirement of the entanglement of quantum channel, but requires an additional photon and an auxiliary maximally entangled photon pair locally.

Entanglement or separability: the choice of how to factorize the algebra of a density matrix

Quantum entanglement has become a resource for the fascinating developments in quantum information and quantum communication during the last decades. It quantifies a certain nonclassical correlation property of a density matrix representing the quantum state of a composite system. We discuss the concept of how entanglement changes with respect to different factorizations of the algebra which describes the total quantum system. Depending on the considered factorization a quantum state appears either entangled or separable. For pure states we always can switch unitarily between separability and entanglement, however, for mixed states a minimal amount of mixedness is needed. We discuss our general statements in detail for the familiar case of qubits, the GHZ states, Werner states and Gisin states, emphasizing their geometric features. As theorists we use and play with this free choice of factorization, which for an experimentalist is often naturally fixed. For theorists it offers an extension of the interpretations and is adequate to generalizations, as we point out in the examples of quantum teleportation and entanglement swapping.     

Separable State Decompositions for a Class of Mixed States

We study certain quantum states for which the PPT criterion is both sufficient and necessary for separability. A class of n×n bipartite mixed states is presented and the conditions of PPT for these states are derived. The separable pure state decompositions of these states are explicitly constructed when they are PPT.
