Derivation of the robustness from the concurrence

2021, Modern Physics Letters A

Adding the maximally mixed state with some weight to the entanglement system leads to disentanglement of the latter. For each predefined entangled state there exists a minimal value of this weight for which the system loses its entanglement properties. This values was proposed to use as a quantitative measure of entanglement called robustness [G. Vidal, R. Tarrach, Phys. Rev. A 59, 141 (1999)]. Using the concurrence, we propose the derivation of this measure for the system of two qubit. Namely, for a two-qubit pure state an exact expression of robustness is obtained. Finally, in the same way, the robustness of special cases of mixed two-qubit states is calculated.

It plays a crucial role in quantum-mechanical processes and is important for implementation of quantum-information algorithms. Testing Bell’s inequality [2] for entangled states of photons, Aspect et al. experimentally solved the EPR paradox [3]. The simplest scheme of quantum teleportation of the qubit state [4], which was experimentally realized by Zeilinger’s group [5], requires the preparation of a two-qubit entangled state as a quantum channel. The efficiency of quantum computers [6, 7] is due to algorithms based on the preparation of quantum entangled states (see, for instance, [8, 9, 10, 11]). In [12, 13] it was shown that presence of entanglement in a quantum system enhances the speed of evolution of this system. Thus, the evolution of the system through entangled states occurs more rapidly than through disentangled ones. This property is important for optimization of quantum calculations. The connection between the degree of entanglement and time of evolution was also studied in papers [14, 15, 16, 17]. So, the efficiency of the implementation of the above-mentioned processes depends on the degree of entanglement in a system. Therefore, it is necessary to determine whether a state is entangled and to quantify the value of its entanglement. For the first time the quantative study of entanglement 1 states was made in papers [18, 19]. The authors examined the behavior of Bell inequalities [2] on the mixed entangled states. It was shown that there is a family of the entangled mixed states, which does not violate the Bell inequalities. The first step in finding the criteria that define the distinction between entangled and separable state was done by Peres [21] and Horodecki family [20, 22]. Lewenstein and Sanpera was proposed an algorithm that allows to find the best separable approximation to an arbitrary density matrix [23]. This algorithm is based on fact that an arbitrary density matrix ρ can be expressed as follows ρ = ωρS + (1 − ω)Pe , where ρs is a separable density matrix for which the weight ω is maximal, Pe = |ψe ihψe | is a projector on an pure entangled state |ψe i, and ω ∈ [0, 1]. The state ρs is also called the best separable approximation of ρ. In [24] it was shown that always there exist a unique such decomposition that ω is maximall. Further this algorithm was considered for different kinds of states [24, 25, 26, 27, 28]. For finding the quantitative distinction between the entangled and disentangled states the different measures of entanglement were proposed. The most basic measure for the bipartite system is called the entanglement of formation, which is defined as follows [29] X E(ρ) = min pi E(|ψi i). (1) i This is the average entanglement of the pure states |ψi i of the decomposition minimized over all decompositions of mixed states ρ with probabilities pi , P which satisfies condition i pi = 1. Here the entanglement of the pure state is defined as an entropy of either of the two subsystem A and B [30, 31] E(|ψi) = −Tr (ρA log2 ρA ) = −Tr (ρB log2 ρB ) , (2) where ρA(B) is the partial trace of |ψihψ| over the subsystem B(A). In [32], Wootters presented an explicit formula for finding the value of entanglement (concurrence C) of a two-qubit state. He obtained the formula for entanglement of formation (1) of a mixed state ρ of two qubits as a monotonic function of concurrence ! p p 1 + 1 − C(ρ)2 1 + 1 − C(ρ)2 E(ρ) = − log2 2 2 ! p p 1 − 1 − C(ρ)2 1 − 1 − C(ρ)2 − . (3) log2 2 2 Thus, the value of entanglement of a particular two-qubit state defined by density matrix ρ can be calculated as follows C(ρ) = max{0, λ1 − λ2 − λ3 − λ4 }. 2 (4) Here,pλi are the eigenvalues, in decreasing order, of the Hermitian matrix √ √ ρρ̃ ρ, where ρ̃ = (σy ⊗ σy ) ρ∗ (σy ⊗ σy ). Note that λi are real and R= positive numbers. For calculations it is convenient to use the eigenvalues of the non-Hermitian matrix ρρ̃ which have the form λ2i . The value of concurrence ranges from 0 for separable states to 1 for maximally entangled states. Another interesting definition of the measure of entanglement is the geometric measure of entanglement proposed by Shimony [33]. Its properties and different definitions were considered in papers [34, 35] and [36], respectively. In paper [37], the geometrical measure was quantified in terms of mean values of observables of the entangled system. An algorithm to explore entanglement of a bipartite system based on maximization of the Schmidt norms was discussed in paper [38]. In papers [39, 40] were proposed to quantify the measure of entanglement in terms of mixing. Adding the maximally mixed state with a certain weight to the entangled state leads to its factorization. The minimal value of weight that transforms the system into a disentangled state can be used as a degree of entanglement of this system (robustness). The robustness of state ρ0 relative to separable state ρs is the minimal value of ω ≥ 0 for which ρ = (1 − ω)ρ0 + ωρs is separable [39]. In the present paper, we apply this consideration to a two-qubit system (section 2). As a result, in section 3, using the concurrence as a quantitative measure of entanglement, we obtain an explicit expression for the robustness relative to the maximally mixed state in the case of pure states. Also, in section 4 we derive the robustness for some special cases of mixed states. Finally, the discussion is presented in section 5. 2 Space of a two-qubit quantum state and definition of robustness An arbitrary two-qubit quantum state ρ0 can be expressed as the decomposition of the pure states X ρ0 = pi ρi , (5) i where ρi = |ψi ihψi | (6) is the density matrix of the pure state |ψi i with probability pi . State (5) is defined by fifteen real parameters. Therefore, the space which contains all two-qubit quantum states is 15-dimensional. This space is bounded to 3 the 14-dimensional convex region which contains all pure states and mixed states of rank-2 and 3. Inside the region there are the mixed states with rank-4 containing the maximally mixed state 1 ρmax = I, 4 (7) where I is the unit matrix. This region is divided into domain that contains entangled states and convex domain that contains disentangled states. The transition from any entangled state to disentangled state can be accomplished by adding the maximally mixed state (7) with the weight coefficient ω ∈ [0, 1] as follows ρ = (1 − ω)ρ0 + ωρmax . (8) For each predefined entangled state ρ0 there exists the minimal weight ωc for which state (8) becomes disentangled. The value of ωc depends on the degree of the entanglement of state ρ0 . The lower degree of the entanglement of ρ0 , the smaller value takes the ωc , and vice versa. So, this parameter can be used as a quantitative measure of entanglement of quantum states and it is called robustness [39]. Note, that this is the definition of robustness of state ρ0 relative to the maximally mixed state ρmax . It is worth noting that such considerations are valid for any many-body quantum system. In the following section, using the concurrence as quantitative measure of entanglement, we obtain the exact expression for ωc in the case of a pure quantum state of two qubits. For a mixed state it is difficult to obtain a general expression for ωc . Therefore, we consider some special cases of mixed states. 3 Entanglement of a pure quantum state In general, an arbitrary quantum state of two qubits can be represented by the Schmidt decomposition |ψi = c1 |α1 i|β1 i + c2 eiχ |α2 i|β2 i, (9) where |α1 i, |α2 i are the orthogonal states which belong to the first qubit | ↑i + α| ↓i |α1 i = p , 1 + |α|2 α∗ | ↑i − | ↓i |α2 i = p , 1 + |α|2 | ↑i + β| ↓i |β1 i = p , 1 + |β|2 β ∗ | ↑i − | ↓i |β2 i = p . 1 + |β|2 and |β1 i, |β2 i are the orthogonal states which belong to the second qubit 4 Here α, β are some complex parameters and χ is some real parameter. The Schmidt coefficients c1 and c2 are real and positive satisfying the normalization condition c21 +c22 = 1. Representation (9) is useful for calculating measure of entanglement between qubits. Indeed, using concurrence (4) with state (9) we obtain that its value of entanglement is defined only by the Schmidt coefficients as follows C(|ψi) = 2c1 c2 . (10) √ It achieves the maximal value (C = 1) when c1 = c2 = 1/ 2. Note that making the local unitary transformations with the first and second qubits in state (9) we can reach state [41] |ψi = c1 | ↑↑i + c2 | ↓↓i. (11) These transformations do not change the entanglement of the system. Therefore, for further calculations of entanglement we use state (11). Let us study the influence of the unit matrix on the value of entanglement of state (11). For this purpose we construct the density matrix of this state and add maximally mixed state (7) to it. As a result, the state of the system becomes mixed. In the basis spanned by the states | ↑↑i and | ↓↓i the density matrix of this state takes the form   (1 − ω)c21 + ω4 0 0 (1 − ω)c1 c2 ω   0 0 0 4 . ρ= (12) ω   0 0 4 0 (1 − ω)c1 c2 0 0 (1 − ω)c22 + ω4 Here ω defines the degree of mixing of quantum state. The value of ω = 1 corresponds to the maximally mixed state. Using definition of concurrence (4) let us calculate the degree of entanglement for state (12) (see appendix A) C(ρ) = max{0, (1 − ω) 2c1 c2 − ω/2}. (13) As we can see that concurrence of mixed state (12) contains concurrence (10) of pure state (9). We obtain the critical (minimal) value of ω, for which pure state (11) becomes disentangled, when we equate to zero expression (1 − ω) 2c1 c2 − ω/2 and then solve it with respect to ω. As a result we obtain the robustness of two-qubit pure state ωc = C(|ψi) , C(|ψi) + 1/2 5 (14) where C(|ψi) is defined by√equation (10). This expression takes the maximal value 2/3 for c1 = c2 = 1/ 2, which corresponds to the maximally entangled pure state (9), and minimal value 0 for c1 = 0 or c2 = 0, which corresponds to the disentangled pure state. The value of ωc indicates the ”amount” of unit matrix that must be added to pure state (9) with predefined c1 and c2 in order to disentangle it. So, the value of ωc can be used as a measure of entanglement of pure quantum state. Then value ωc = 0 corresponds to the disentangled state and ωc = 2/3 corresponds to maximally entangled state. Note that if the initial state is spanned by the basis vectors | ↑↑i, | ↑↓i, | ↓↑i and | ↓↓i as follows a| ↑↑i + b| ↑↓i + c| ↓↑i + d| ↓↓i then c1 c2 in formula (14) should be changed into |ad − bc|. Here a, b, c and d are complex parameters which satisfy the normalization condition |a|2 + |b|2 + |c|2 + |d|2 = 1. 4 Entanglement of a mixed quantum state For an arbitrary two-qubit mixed state, using the definition of concurrence, it is difficult to obtain a general expression of robustness ωc . Therefore, in this section we consider few special cases of mixed states. 4.1 Rank-2 mixed state First of all, let us study the entanglement of rank-2 mixed state ρ0 with density matrix (5), where state |ψi i is given on subspace spanned by vectors | ↑↑i, | ↓↓i as follows |ψi i = c1i | ↑↑i + c2i eiχi | ↓↓i. (15) Here cij , χi are real coefficients which satisfy the normalization condition c21i + c22i = 1, and the number of states in ensemble can be arbitrary. The mixture of this state with maximally mixed one (7) takes the form   P P (1 − ω) i pi c21i + ω4 0 0 (1 − ω) i pi c1i c2i e−iχi ω   0 0 0 4 . ρ= (16) ω   0 0 0 4 P P (1 − ω) i pi c1i c2i eiχi 0 0 (1 − ω) i pi c22i + ω4 By making the same calculations as in the previous case (see appendix A) we obtain that the minimal value of weigh ωc which transforms state (16) into disentangled one has the same form as in case of pure state (14), hovewer, 6 one should replace C(|ψi) with the following expression  C(ρ0 ) = 2  X i pi c1i c2i cos χi !2 + X i pi c1i c2i sin χi !2 1/2  . (17) This expression defines the concurrence of state (16) with ω = 0. As we can √ see, this state takes the maximal value of entanglement if c1i = c2i = 1/ 2 and if all the χi are equal to each other. Note that this result is valid in the case of mixed states which are defined on the subspace spanned by vectors | ↑↓i, | ↓↑i. 4.2 X-state Now let us consider a two-qubit mixed state of rank-4 called an X-state [42, 43]. Note that such a state can be generated by two interacting spins-1/2 which evolve under the influence of the thermal bath [44, 45]. To study the connection of the concurrence and robustness of the X-state we prepare the mixture of the above-discussed rank-2 mixed states spanned by | ↑↑i, | ↓↓i and | ↑↓i, | ↓↑i vectors, respectively. The density matrix of this mixture with maximally mixed state (7) takes the form   P P (1 − ω) i pi c21i + ω4 0 0 (1 − ω) i pi c1i c2i e−iχi   0 0 0 0  ρ=   0 0 0 0 P P ω iχi 2 (1 − ω) i pi c1i c2i e 0 0 (1 − ω) i pi c2i + 4   0 0 0 P P0 ω −iφi 2  0 (1 − ω) (1 − ω) P 0  i qi d1i d2i e 4 , P i qi d1i + iφ (18) + ω 2 i  0 (1 − ω) (1 − ω) i qi d2i + 4 0  i qi d1i d2i e 0 0 0 0 where qi and dij , φi are the probabilities and parameters which define the part of state spanned by vectors | ↑↓i, | ↓↑i. Here, parameters dij satisfy 2 2 the normalization condition dP 1i + d2i = 1, and for probabilities we have the P following condition i pi + i qi = 1. It is worth noting that this case includes a rank-3 state if we leave only one component of the density matrix that corresponds to the first or second subspace, respectively. Constructing for state (18) the R matrix defined after expression (4) we 7 obtain its eigenvalues   ω 2 1/2 ω 2 2 λ1,2 = (1 − ω) A + (1 − ω)P + ± (1 − ω)F, 4 4   ω 2 1/2 ω 2 2 λ3,4 = (1 − ω) B + (1 − ω)Q + ± (1 − ω)G, 4 4 (19) where A= " X pi pj c21i c22j i,j  F = X G= X  #1/2 , pi c1i c2i cos χi i B= P = X pi , qi qj d21i d22j i,j !2 qi d1i d2i cos φi i " X !2 + i + Q= i X X i X #1/2 , !2 1/2 pi c1i c2i sin χi  , !2 1/2 qi d1i d2i sin φi  , qi . i Since λ1 ≥ λ2 and λ3 ≥ λ4 , and eigenvalues λ1,2 and λ3,4 are symmetric between themselves, it is enough to obtain the expression for ωc in the case of λ1 ≥ λ3 . Then the concurrence has the form ) (   ω 2 1/2 ω .(20) C(ρ) = max 0, 2(1 − ω)F − 2 (1 − ω)2 B 2 + (1 − ω)Q + 4 4 For an entangled state the value in curly brackets is positive, and robustness ωc is the following p 8(F 2 − B 2 ) + Q − Q2 + 4(F 2 − B 2 ) ωc = . (21) 8(F 2 − B 2 ) + 2Q − 1/2 Note that in the opposite case of λ3 ≥ λ1 one should make the following replacemets in this expression: F → G, B → A and Q → P . Value (21) vanishes when F = B, and increases when B tends to zero. For the case of Q = 0 expression (21) turns into expression for rank-2 state (14) with C(ρ0 ) defined by formula (17). It is worth noting that the entanglement of mixture of mixed states with the same entanglement and which belong to different 8 subspaces always equals 0. This fact is easy to check if we put λ1 = λ3 and λ2 = λ4 in Wooters equation (4). So, the entanglement of the mixture of states from subspaces defined by vectors | ↑↑i, | ↓↓i and | ↑↓i, | ↓↑i is always less than the more entangled component of this mixture. Moreover, if we mix the states with the same entanglement from these subspaces then we obtain the disentangled state. 4.3 Rank-4 mixed state with real parameters In this subsection we consider a more general case, namely, a two-qubit rank4 mixed state with real parameters. The density matrix of this state with maximally mixed state (7) reads   (1 − ω)b −(1 − ω)b (1 − ω)d (1 − ω)a + ω4  (1 − ω)b (1 − ω)c + ω4 (1 − ω)f (1 − ω)b   , (22) ρ= ω  −(1 − ω)b −(1 − ω)b  (1 − ω)f (1 − ω)c + 4 (1 − ω)d (1 − ω)b −(1 − ω)b (1 − ω)a + ω4 where a, b, c, d and f are real parameters. Here, parameters a and c satisfy condition 2a + 2c = 1. It is easy to check that in this case matrix ρ̃ coincides with matrix ρ. This means that the matrix R = ρ and eigenvalues λi are the eigenvalues of the density matrix ρ. The eigenvalues of this matrix are the following ω ω λ1 = (1 − ω) (a − d) + , λ2 = (1 − ω) (c + f ) + , 4 4  ω p 1−ω  2 2 a + d + c − f ± (a + d − c + f ) + 16b + . (23) λ3,4 = 2 4 Since λ3 ≥ λ1 and λ3 ≥ λ4 , we have two cases of concurrence (4) for state (22): λ2 ≥ λ3 and λ3 ≥ λ2 . Let us condider them in detail. • λ2 ≥ λ3 In this case the concurrence takes the form n ωo C(ρ) = max 0, 2(1 − ω)(f − a) − . 2 (24) As we can see, the state remains an entangled if f > a. Then the robustness ωc reads ωc = 2(f − a) . 2(f − a) + 1/2 9 (25) • λ3 ≥ λ2 Here, the concurrence takes the form   s  2   1 ω  1 2  C(ρ) = max 0, (1 − ω) − + 16b + d − f − (2a + d + f − .(26)  2 2 2 From this expression we obtain the robustness in the form 1 . ωc = 1 − p 2 (2a + d + f − 1/2)2 + 16b2 + d − f (27) As an example, let us consider the mixture of two pure states |ψ1 i = 1/2 (| ↑↑i + | ↑↓i − | ↓↑i + | ↓↓i) and |ψ2 i = 1/2 (| ↑↑i − | ↑↓i + | ↓↑i + | ↓↓i). The density matrix ρ0 = p|ψ1 ihψ1 | + (1 − p)|ψ2 ihψ2 | of this mixture has the real parameters a = c = d = 1/4, f = −1/4 and b = (2p − 1)/4. Then the eigenvalues of density matrix (22) read λ1 = λ2 = ω/4 and λ3,4 = (1 − ω)(1 ± |2p − 1|)/2 + ω/4. Since λ3 is the largest eigenvalue we use equations (26), (27) and obtain C (ρ) = max (0, (1 − ω)|2p − 1| − ω/2), ωc = |2p − 1|/(|2p − 1| + 1/2). As we can see, the maximal value of the entanglement corresponds to pure states (p = 0, 1), and the minimal value of the entanglement corresponds to the mixed state with p = 1/2. 5 Discussion Adding the maximally mixed state with some weight to the density matrix of entangled system leads to its disentanglement. For each entangled state there exists a critical (minimal) value of this weight for which the system ceases to be entangled. Moreover, for a more entangled state this value is greater and vice versa. This weight was proposed to use as a quantitative measure of entanglement and it is called robustness [39]. Using the definition of concurrence, we have derived these measure for a two-qubit system. Namely, explicit expression (14) of this measure for any predefined two-qubit pure state was obtained. It was shown that if the state is maximally entangled then the two-thirds of the maximally mixed state should be added to the pure state to transform it into a disentangled state. Therefore, this measure takes the values between 2/3 for maximally entangled states and 0 for factorized ones. In the case of mixed states, we were not able to obtain a general expression for this weight. However, we considered the special cases of mixed states. For a rank-2 mixed state spanned by vectors | ↑↑i, | ↓↓i or | ↑↓i, | ↓↑i it was shown that the robustness is determined by expression (14) with (17). 10 In addition, we mixed the states from these two subspaces and obtained robustness in the form (21). As a result we showed that the entanglement of such a mixture is always less than the more entangled component of it. Finally, we consider a rank-4 mixed state which consists of real parameters. The value of the entanglement of this state is defined by its eigenvalues. Depending on the ratio between these eigenvalues we obtain two expressions to determine robustness (25) and (27). 6 Acknowledgements We are grateful to Profs.

Appendices Derivation of ωc for pure twoqubit quantum state Appendix A In this appendix using Wootters definition of concurrence (4) we obtain the degree of entanglement of state (12). In this case matrix ρ̃ has the form   (1 − ω)c22 + ω4 0 0 (1 − ω)c1 c2 ω   0 0 0 4 . ρ̃ = (σy ⊗ σy ) ρ∗ (σy ⊗ σy ) =  ω   0 0 4 0 ω 2 (1 − ω)c1 c2 0 0 (1 − ω)c1 + 4 (A1) The matrix ρρ̃ can be expressed as follows   ω ω 2 2 2 2 2(1 − ω) c1 c2 + ρρ̃ =  4 (1 − ω) + 4 0 0 2 (1 − ω)c22 +  ω 4 0  ω 2 4 (1 − ω)c1 c2 0 0 0 0  ω 2 4 0 2 (1 − ω)c21 + ω 4  (1 − ω)c1 c2 0 0 2(1 − ω)2 c21 c22 + ω 4 (1 − ω) +  ω 2 4  . (A2) 11 Then the eigenvalues λ2i of this matrix satisfy the following equations   ω 2   ω  ω 2 2 ω 2 2 2 λ − 2λ 2(1 − ω) c1 c2 + − 3 + −3 = 0, 4 4 4 4   ω 2 2 2 = 0.

(A4) 4 Now, substituting these eigenvalues in formula (4) we obtain expression (13). Then equating to zero expression (1 − ω) 2c1 c2 − ω/2 and solving it with respect to ω we obtain formula (14).
