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.
Key words: robustness; concurrence; mixed state; entangled state; two-qubit
system.

Introduction
Entanglement is a property which appears only for quantum-mechanical system [1]. 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

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 }.

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.

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

.
ρ=
(12)
ω

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.

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

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

(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

obtain its eigenvalues

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

ωc is the following

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
−(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

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

(25)
• λ3 ≥ λ2
Here, the concurrence takes the form

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.

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).
