We investigate the separability of the two-mode Gaussian states by using the variances of a pair of Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR)-like observables. Our starting point is inspired by the general necessary condition of separability introduced by Duan {em et al.} [Phys. Rev. Lett. {bf 84}, 2722 (2000)]. We evaluate the minima of the normalized forms of both the product and sum of such variances, as well as that of a regularized sum. Making use of Simons separability criterion, which is based on the condition of positivity of the partial transpose (PPT) of the density matrix [Phys. Rev. Lett. {bf 84}, 2726 (2000)], we prove that these minima are separability indicators in their own right. They appear to quantify the greatest amount of EPR-like correlations that can be created in a two-mode Gaussian state by means of local operations. Furthermore, we reconsider the EPR-like approach to the separability of two-mode Gaussian states which was developed by Duan {em et al.} with no reference to the PPT condition. By optimizing the regularized form of their EPR-like uncertainty sum, we derive a separability indicator for any two-mode Gaussian state. We prove that the corresponding EPR-like condition of separability is manifestly equivalent to Simons PPT one. The consistency of these two distinct approaches (EPR-like and PPT) affords a better understanding of the examined separability problem, whose explicit solution found long ago by Simon covers all situations of interest.
Understanding how quantum resources can be quantified and distributed over many parties has profound applications in quantum communication. As one of the most intriguing features of quantum mechanics, Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) steering is a usefu
Certification and quantification of correlations for multipartite states of quantum systems appear to be a central task in quantum information theory. We give here a unitary quantum-mechanical perspective of both entanglement and Einstein-Podolsky-Ro
Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) steering is a form of bipartite quantum correlation that is intermediate between entanglement and Bell nonlocality. It allows for entanglement certification when the measurements performed by one of the parties are not c
Despite an extensive research on protecting entanglement from decoherence, it remains a challenge to protect Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) steering due to its intrinsic difference from entanglement. We experimentally demonstrate the distillation of G
EPR steering is an asymmetric form of correlations which is intermediate between quantum entanglement and Bell nonlocality, and can be exploited for quantum communication with one untrusted party. In particular, steering of continuous variable Gaussi
