The Alberti-Ulhmann criterion states that any given qubit dichotomy can be transformed into any other given qubit dichotomy by a quantum channel if and only if the testing region of the former dichotomy includes the testing region of the latter dichotomy. Here, we generalize the Alberti-Ulhmann criterion to the case of arbitrary number of qubit or qutrit states. We also derive an analogous result for the case of qubit or qutrit measurements with arbitrary number of elements. We demonstrate the possibility of applying our criterion in a semi-device independent way.

According to the geometric characterization of measurement assemblages and local hidden state (LHS) models, we propose a steering criterion which is both necessary and sufficient for two-qubit states under arbitrary measurement sets. A quantity is introduced to describe the required local resources to reconstruct a measurement assemblage for two-qubit states. We show that the quantity can be regarded as a quantification of steerability and be used to find out optimal LHS models. Finally we propose a method to generate unsteerable states, and construct some two-qubit states which are entangled but unsteerable under all projective measurements.
Inspired by the `computable cross norm or `realignment criterion, we propose a new point of view about the characterization of the states of bipartite quantum systems. We consider a Schmidt decomposition of a bipartite density operator. The corresponding Schmidt coefficients, or the associated symmetric polynomials, are regarded as quantities that can be used to characterize bipartite quantum states. In particular, starting from the realignment criterion, a family of necessary conditions for the separability of bipartite quantum states is derived. We conjecture that these conditions, which are weaker than the parent criterion, can be strengthened in such a way to obtain a new family of criteria that are independent of the original one. This conjecture is supported by numerical examples for the low dimensional cases. These ideas can be applied to the study of quantum channels, leading to a relation between the rate of contraction of a map and its ability to preserve entanglement.
A conceptually simpler proof of the separability criterion for two-qubit systems, which is referred to as Hefei inequality in literature, is presented. This inequality gives a necessary and sufficient separability criterion for any mixed two-qubit system unlike the Bell-CHSH inequality that cannot test the mixed-states such as the Werner state when regarded as a separability criterion. The original derivation of this inequality emphasized the uncertainty relation of complementary observables, but we show that the uncertainty relation does not play any role in the actual derivation and the Peres-Hodrodecki condition is solely responsible for the inequality. Our derivation, which contains technically novel aspects such as an analogy to the Dirac equation, sheds light on this inequality and on the fundamental issue to what extent the uncertainty relation can provide a test of entanglement. This separability criterion is illustrated for an exact treatment of the Werner state.
Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) steering is the ability that an observer persuades a distant observer to share entanglement by making local measurements. Determining a quantum state is steerable or unsteerable remains an open problem. Here, we derive a new steering inequality with infinite measurements corresponding to an arbitrary two-qubit T state, from consideration of EPR steering inequalities with N projective measurement settings for each side. In fact, the steering inequality is also a sufficient criterion for guaranteering that the T state is unsteerable. Hence, the steering inequality can be viewed as a necessary and sufficient criterion to distinguish whether the T state is steerable or unsteerable. In order to reveal the fact that the set composed of steerable states is the strict subset of the set made up of entangled states, we prove theoretically that all separable T states can not violate the steering inequality. Moreover, we put forward a method to estimate the maximum violation from concurrence for arbitrary two-qubit T states, which indicates that the T state is steerable if its concurrence exceeds 1/4.
