Consider three qubits A, B, and C which may be entangled with each other. We show that there is a trade-off between A's entanglement with B and its entanglement with C. This relation is expressed in terms of a measure of entanglement called the "tangle," which is related to the entanglement of formation. Specifically, we show that the tangle between A and B, plus the tangle between A and C, cannot be greater than the tangle between A and the pair BC. This inequality is as strong as it could be, in the sense that for any values of the tangles satisfying the corresponding equality, one can find a quantum state consistent with those values. Further exploration of this result leads to a definition of the "three-way tangle" of the system, which is invariant under permutations of the qubits.

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

  7. Harmony for 2-Qubit Entanglement

    quant-ph 2019-06 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.

  8. Separability from Multipartite Measures

    quant-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    Third-order negativity provides a necessary and sufficient criterion for full separability of tripartite pure states, with generalizations to mixed states, qudits, and an application to conformal field theory.
