Geometric quantifier of the incompatibility of single-particle property attribution in indistinguishable boson systems

Entanglement in indistinguishable particle systems can be characterized by the impossibility of unambiguously attributing a complete set of physical properties to the individual constituent particles. In this work, we introduce a geometric quantifier of the incompatibility of such simultaneous property attribution for pure states of $N$ indistinguishable bosons. Using the Majorana stellar representation, any symmetric multi-qubit state can be expressed as the symmetrization of constituent single-particle states, allowing the associated single-particle properties to be directly linked with the corresponding Majorana stars. This establishes a direct connection between the geometry of the Majorana representation on the Bloch sphere and the entanglement criterion based on the attribution of single-particle properties in systems of identical two-level bosons. We then generalize this geometric approach to higher-dimensional bosons, extending the quantifier from qubits to qudits, while retaining a geometric interpretation of property-attribution incompatibility in terms of Fubini-Study angles.

Degrees of Entanglement in Systems of Three Indistinguishable Bosons: Revisiting the Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinge State

While the concept of entanglement for distinguishable particles is well established, defining entanglement and non-locality in systems of indistinguishable particles, which require the use of the (anti)symmetrization postulate, remains challenging, and multiple approaches have been proposed to address this issue. In this work we study the problem of detecting genuine tripartite entanglement among systems of indistinguishable bosons. A genuine entangled state is one that cannot be separable under any bipartition, where separability in the indistinguishable regime is defined by the existence of single particle properties within each subsystem, without the possibility of knowing which property belongs to which subsystem. We use an algorithm that allows us to search for these single particle properties and, consequently, rank states according to their degree of separability. In particular, we introduce a state of indistinguishable bosons with analogous properties to those of the standard GHZ state.
