We study the mathematical structures and relations among some quantities in the theory of quantum entanglement, such as separability, weak Schmidt decompositions, Hadamard matrices etc.. We provide an operational method to identify the Schmidt-correlated states by using weak Schmidt decomposition. We show that a mixed state is Schmidt-correlated if and only if its spectral decomposition consists of a set of pure eigenstates which can be simultaneously diagonalized in weak Schmidt decomposition, i.e. allowing for complex-valued diagonal entries. For such states, the separability is reduced to the orthogonality conditions of the vectors consisting of diagonal entries associated to the eigenstates, which is surprisingly related to the so-called complex Hadamard matrices. Using the Hadamard matrices, we provide a variety of generalized maximal entangled Bell bases.
The use of entanglement witness (EW) for non-full separability and the Bell operator for non-local hidden-variables (LHV) model are analyzed by relating them to the Hilbert-Schmidt (HS) decomposition of n-qubits states and these methods are applied explicitly to some 3 and 4 qubits states. EW for non-full separability (fs) is given by fs parameter minus operator G where the choice of G in the HS decomposition leads to the fs parameter and to the condition for non-separability by using criterions which are different from those used for genuine entanglement. We analyze especially entangled states with probability p mixed with white noise with probability 1-p and find the critical value p(crit.) above which the system is not fully separable. As the choice of EW might not be optimal we add to the analysis of EW explicit construction of fully separable density matrix and find the critical value p below which the system is fully separable. If the two values for p coincide we conclude that this parameter gives the optimal result. Such optimal results are obtained in the present work for some 3 and 4 qubits entangled states mixed with white noise. The use of partial-transpose (PT ) (say relative to qubit A) gives also p value above which the system is not fully separable. The use of EW gives better results (or at least equal) than those obtained by PT .
The new method of multivariate data analysis based on the complements of classical probability distribution to quantum state and Schmidt decomposition is presented. We considered Schmidt formalism application to problems of statistical correlation analysis. Correlation of photons in the beam splitter output channels, when input photons statistics is given by compound Poisson distribution is examined. The developed formalism allows us to analyze multidimensional systems and we have obtained analytical formulas for Schmidt decomposition of multivariate Gaussian states. It is shown that mathematical tools of quantum mechanics can significantly improve the classical statistical analysis. The presented formalism is the natural approach for the analysis of both classical and quantum multivariate systems and can be applied in various tasks associated with research of dependences.
In the standard geometric approach, the entanglement of a pure state is $sin^2theta$, where $theta$ is the angle between the entangled state and the closest separable state of products of normalised qubit states. We consider here a generalisation of this notion by considering separable states that consist of products of unnormalised states of different dimension. The distance between the target entangled state and the closest unnormalised product state can be interpreted as a measure of the entanglement of the target state. The components of the closest product state and its norm have an interpretation in terms of, respectively, the eigenvectors and eigenvalues of the reduced density matrices arising in the Schmidt decomposition of the state vector. For several cases where the target state has a large degree of symmetry, we solve the system of equations analytically, and look specifically at the limit where the number of qubits is large.
In the standard geometric approach to a measure of entanglement of a pure state, $sin^2theta$ is used, where $theta$ is the angle between the state to the closest separable state of products of normalized qubit states. We consider here a generalization of this notion to separable states consisting of products of unnormalized states of different dimension. In so doing, the entanglement measure $sin^2theta$ is found to have an interpretation as the distance between the state to the closest separable state. We also find the components of the closest separable state and its norm have an interpretation in terms of, respectively, the eigenvectors and eigenvalues of the reduced density matrices arising in the Schmidt decomposition of the state vector.
The ability to simulate one Hamiltonian with another is an important primitive in quantum information processing. In this paper, a simulation method for arbitrary $sigma_z otimes sigma_z$ interaction based on Hadamard matrices (quant-ph/9904100) is generalized for any pairwise interaction. We describe two applications of the generalized framework. First, we obtain a class of protocols for selecting an arbitrary interaction term in an n-qubit Hamiltonian. This class includes the scheme given in quant-ph/0106064v2. Second, we obtain a class of protocols for inverting an arbitrary, possibly unknown n-qubit Hamiltonian, generalizing the result in quant-ph/0106085v1.
