abstract

The entanglement of a pure state of a pair of quantum systems is defined as the entropy of either member of the pair. The entanglement of formation of a mixed state is defined as the minimum average entanglement of an ensemble of pure states that represents the given mixed state. An earlier paper [Phys. Rev. Lett. 78, 5022 (1997)] conjectured an explicit formula for the entanglement of formation of a pair of binary quantum objects (qubits) as a function of their density matrix, and proved the formula to be true for a special class of mixed states. The present paper extends the proof to arbitrary states of this system and shows how to construct entanglement-minimizing pure-state decompositions.

Entangling Power: A Probe of Symmetry and Integrability in Quantum Many-Body Systems

quant-ph · 2026-05-20 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

Entangling power in Heisenberg spin chains shows a monotonic decrease with growing symmetry in small models, sharp dips at SU(2) and free-fermion points in finite chains, and vanishes at SU(2) points but maximizes at the free-fermion point in the thermodynamic limit for the S-matrix.

Qubit entanglement from forward scattering

hep-ph · 2025-10-05 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

In perturbative relativistic 2→2 scattering the concurrence of the traced-out qubit density matrix depends at leading order on the real part of the inelastic forward amplitude.

Entanglement Requirements for Coherent Enhancement in Detectors

hep-ph · 2026-05-08 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

Coherent enhancement in detectors is quantitatively constrained by single-mode entanglement entropy, with general bounds on scaling with system size that interpolate between incoherent and fully coherent regimes.

Harmony for 2-Qubit Entanglement

quant-ph · 2019-06-21 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

Harmony is a new entanglement measure for two qubits expressed as a simple function of the density operator that detects separability and maximal entanglement and is monogamous for three-qubit states.

Separability from Multipartite Measures

quant-ph · 2026-05-03 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0 · 2 refs

Third-order negativity is a necessary and sufficient criterion for full separability of tripartite pure states and extends to mixed states and qudits.
