For an even qudit dimension $dgeq 2,$ we introduce a class of two-qudit states exhibiting perfect correlations/anticorrelations and prove via the generalized Gell-Mann representation that, for each two-qudit state from this class, the maximal violation of the original Bell inequality is bounded from above by the value $3/2$ - the upper bound attained on some two-qubit states. We show that the two-qudit Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (GHZ) state with an arbitrary even $dgeq 2$ exhibits perfect correlations/anticorrelations and belongs to the introduced two-qudit state class. These new results are important steps towards proving in general the $frac{3}{2}$ upper bound on quantum violation of the original Bell inequality. The latter would imply that similarly as the Tsirelson upper bound $2sqrt{2}$ specifies the quantum analog of the CHSH inequality for all bipartite quantum states, the upper bound $frac{3}{2}$ specifies the quantum analog of the original Bell inequality for all bipartite quantum states with perfect correlations/ anticorrelations. Possible consequences for the experimental tests on violation of the original Bell inequality are briefly discussed.
We introduce the general class of symmetric two-qubit states guaranteeing the perfect correlation or anticorrelation of Alice and Bob outcomes whenever some spin observable is measured at both sites. We prove that, for all states from this class, the maximal violation of the original Bell inequality is upper bounded by 3/2 and specify the two-qubit states where this quantum upper bound is attained. The case of two-qutrit states is more complicated. Here, for all two-qutrit states, we obtain the same upper bound 3/2 for violation of the original Bell inequality under Alice and Bob spin measurements, but we have not yet been able to show that this quantum upper bound is the least one. We discuss experimental consequences of our mathematical study.
In this paper, we study the bipartite entanglement of spin coherent states in the case of pure and mixed states. By a proper choice of the subsystem spins, the entanglement for large class of quantum systems is investigated. We generalize the result to the case of bipartite mixed states using a simplified expression of concurrence in Wootters measure of the bipartite entanglement. It is found that in some cases, the maximal entanglement of mixed states in the context of $su(2)$ algebra can be detected. Our observations may have important implications in exploiting these states in quantum information theory.
Quantum systems with a finite number of states at all times have been a primary element of many physical models in nuclear and elementary particle physics, as well as in condensed matter physics. Today, however, due to a practical demand in the area of developing quantum technologies, a whole set of novel tasks for improving our understanding of the structure of finite-dimensional quantum systems has appeared. In the present article we will concentrate on one aspect of such studies related to the problem of explicit parameterization of state space of an $N$-level quantum system. More precisely, we will discuss the problem of a practical description of the unitary $SU(N)$-invariant counterpart of the $N$-level state space $mathfrak{P}_N$, i.e., the unitary orbit space $mathfrak{P}_N/SU(N)$. It will be demonstrated that the combination of well-known methods of the polynomial invariant theory and convex geometry provides useful parameterization for the elements of $mathfrak{P}_N/SU(N)$. To illustrate the general situation, a detailed description of $mathfrak{P}_N/SU(N)$ for low-level systems: qubit $(N=2),,$ qutrit $(N=3),,$ quatrit $(N=4),$ - will be given.
We formulate and prove the main properties of the generalized Gell-Mann representation for traceless qudit observables with eigenvalues in $[-1,1]$ and analyze via this representation violation of the CHSH inequality by a general two-qudit state. For the maximal value of the CHSH expectation in a two-qudit state with an arbitrary qudit dimension $dgeq2$, this allows us to find two new bounds, lower and upper, expressed via the spectral properties of the correlation matrix for a two-qudit state. We have not yet been able to specify if the new upper bound improves the Tsirelson upper bound for each two-qudit state. However, this is the case for all two-qubit states, where the new lower bound and the new upper bound coincide and reduce to the precise two-qubit CHSH result of Horodeckis, and also, for the Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (GHZ) state with an odd $dgeq2,$ where the new upper bound is less than the upper bound of Tsirelson. Moreover, we explicitly find the correlation matrix for the two-qudit GHZ state and prove that, for this state, the new upper bound is attained for each dimension $dgeq2$ and this specifies the following new result: for the two-qudit GHZ state, the maximum of the CHSH expectation over traceless qudit observables with eigenvalues in $[-1,1]$ is equal to $2sqrt{2}$ if $dgeq2$ is even and to $frac{2(d-1)}{d}sqrt{2}$ if $d>2$ is odd.
The indistinguishability of non-orthogonal pure states lies at the heart of quantum information processing. Although the indistinguishability reflects the impossibility of measuring complementary physical quantities by a single measurement, we demonstrate that the distinguishability can be perfectly retrieved simply with the help of posterior classical partial information. We demonstrate this by showing an ensemble of non-orthogonal pure states such that a state randomly sampled from the ensemble can be perfectly identified by a single measurement with help of the post-processing of the measurement outcomes and additional partial information about the sampled state, i.e., the label of subensemble from which the state is sampled. When an ensemble consists of two subensembles, we show that the perfect distinguishability of the ensemble with the help of the post-processing can be restated as a matrix-decomposition problem. Furthermore, we give the analytical solution for the problem when both subensembles consist of two states.
