Genuinely entangled subspaces and strongly nonlocal unextendible biseparable bases in four-partite systems

A set of orthogonal pure states is an unextendible biseparable basis (UBB), which means that its complementary subspace contains only genuinely entangled states. UBBs thus serve as an effective tool for constructing genuinely entangled subspaces. If every state within such a subspace exhibits distillable entanglement across all bipartitions, it becomes particularly advantageous for applications in quantum information. In this paper, we mainly conduct research on the 4-qudit quantum systems, where the local dimension $d$ is not less than 3. We present an approach for constructing UBB and prove that the UBB established in this way is strongly nonlocal. We build several genuinely entangled subspaces and demonstrate the distillability of the genuinely entangled subspaces across all bipartitions. In addition, we also describe the specific orthonormal basis for some genuinely entangled subspaces. These results will not only contribute to the development of quantum nonlocality theory, but also provide a crucial theoretical foundation for practical quantum information processing tasks.

Characterizing entanglement shareability and distribution in $N$-partite systems

Exploring the shareability and distribution of entanglement possesses fundamental significance in quantum information tasks. In this paper, we demonstrate that the square of bipartite entanglement measures $G_q$-concurrence, which is the generalization of concurrence, follows a set of hierarchical monogamy relations for any $N$-qubit quantum state. On the basis of these monogamy inequalities, we render two kinds of hierarchical indicators that exhibit evident advantages in the capacity of witnessing entanglement. Moreover, we show an analytical relation between $G_q$-concurrence and concurrence in $2\otimes d$ systems. Furthermore, we rigorously prove that the monogamy property of squared $G_q$-concurrence is superior to that of squared concurrence in $2\otimes d_2\otimes d_3\otimes\cdots\otimes d_N$ systems. In addition, several concrete examples are provided to illustrate that for multilevel systems, the squared $G_q$-concurrence satisfies the monogamy relation, even if the squared concurrence does not. These results better reveal the intriguing characteristic of multilevel entanglement and provide critical insights into the entanglement distribution within multipartite quantum systems.

Strongest quantum nonlocality in $N$-partite systems

A set of orthogonal states possesses the strongest quantum nonlocality if only a trivial orthogonality-preserving positive operator-valued measure (POVM) can be performed for each bipartition of the subsystems. This concept originated from the strong quantum nonlocality proposed by Halder $et~al.$ [Phy. Rev. Lett. $\textbf{122}$, 040403 (2019)], which is a stronger manifestation of nonlocality based on locally indistinguishability and finds more efficient applications in quantum information hiding. However, demonstrating the triviality of orthogonality-preserving local measurements (OPLMs) is not straightforward. In this paper, we present a sufficient and necessary condition for trivial OPLMs in $N$-partite systems under certain conditions. By using our proposed condition, we deduce the minimum size of set with the strongest nonlocality in system $(\mathbb{C}^{3})^{\otimes N}$, where the genuinely entangled sets constructed in Ref. [Phys. Rev. A $\textbf{109}$, 022220 (2024)] achieve this value. As it is known that studying construction involving fewer states with strongest nonlocality contribute to reducing resource consumption in applications. Furthermore, we construct strongest nonlocal genuinely entangled sets in system $(\mathbb{C}^{d})^{\otimes N}~(d\geq4)$, which have a smaller size than the existing strongest nonlocal genuinely entangled sets as $N$ increases. Consequently, our results contribute to a better understanding of strongest nonlocality.

Strong quantum nonlocality without entanglement in every $(n-1)$-partition

Orthogonal product sets that are locally irreducible in every bipartition have the strongest nonlocality while also need a large number of quantum states. In this paper, we construct the orthogonal product sets with strong quantum nonlocality in any possible $n$-partite systems, where $n$ is greater than three. Rigorous proofs show that these sets are locally irreducible in every $(n-1)$-partition. They not only possess stronger properties than nonlocality and fewer quantum states than the strongest nonlocal sets, but also are positive answers to the open question "how to construct different strength nonlocality of orthogonal product states for general multipartite and high-dimensional quantum systems" of Zhang et al. [{Phys. Rev. A \textbf{99}, 062108 (2019)}]. Our results can also enhance one understanding for the nonlocality without entanglement.

G_q-concurrence and entanglement constraints in multiqubit systems

In this paper, we introduce a category of one-parameter bipartite entanglement quantifiers, termed $G_q$-concurrence ($q>1$), and show rigorously that they satisfy all the axiomatic conditions of an entanglement measure and can be considered as a generalization of concurrence. In addition, we establish an analytic formula relating $G_q$-concurrence to concurrence for $1<q\leq2$ in two-qubit systems. Furthermore, the polygamy relation is presented based on the $G_q$-concurrence of assistance in multiqubit systems. As far as $G_q$-concurrence ($1<q\leq2$) itself is concerned, however, it does not obey the monogamy relation, but we prove that the square of $G_q$-concurrence does. By means of this monogamy inequality, we construct a set of entanglement indicators that can detect genuinely multiqubit entangled states even when the tangle loses its efficacy.

Quantifying multipartite quantum states by ($k+1$)-partite entanglement measures

In this paper, we investigate how to quantify the quantum states of $n$-particles from the point of $(k+1)$-partite entanglement $(1\leq k\leq n-1)$, which plays an instrumental role in quantum nonlocality and quantum metrology. We put forward two families of entanglement measures termed $q$-$(k+1)$-PE concurrence $(q>1)$ and $\alpha$-$(k+1)$-PE concurrence $(0\leq\alpha<1)$, respectively. As far as the pure state is concerned, they are defined based on the minimum in entanglement. Meanwhile, rigorous proofs showing that both types of quantifications fulfill all the requirements of an entanglement measure are provided. In addition, we also propose two alternative kinds of entanglement measures, named $q$-$(k+1)$-GPE concurrence $(q>1)$ and $\alpha$-$(k+1)$-GPE concurrence $(0\leq\alpha<1)$, respectively, where the quantifications of any pure state are given by taking the geometric mean of entanglement under all partitions satisfying preconditions. Besides, the lower bounds of these measures are presented by means of the entanglement of permutationally invariant (PI) part of quantum states and the connections of these measures are offered. Moreover, we compare these measures and explain the similarities and differences among them. Furthermore, for computational convenience, we consider enhanced versions of the above quantifications that can be utilized to distinguish whether a multipartite state is genuinely strong $k$-producible.

Planar two-region multi-partite maximally entangled states

In entanglement theory, there are different methods to consider one state being more entangled than another. The "maximally" entangled states in a multipartite system can be defined from an axiomatic perspective. According to different criteria for selection, there are many specific types of quantum maximally entangled states, such as absolutely maximally entangled state, planar maximally entangled state and so on. In this paper we propose a new type of maximally entangled states, the planar two-region multipartite maximally entangled state. The requirement condition of this maximally entangled state is weak than that of the absolutely maximally entangled state and different from that of the planar maximally entangled state. We show that there are the two-region four-partite maximally entangled states in 4-qubit and 7-qubit planar systems, although there is no absolutely maximally entangled state in these systems. It is proved that there are the planar two-region four-partite maximally entangled states in both even particle quantum systems and odd particle quantum systems. Additionally, based on some planar two-region four-partite maximally entangled states, the new planar two-region four-partite maximally entangled states are generated. We also provide some important examples of the planar two-region multi-partite maximally entangled states.

Entanglement hierarchies in multipartite scenarios

In this paper, we investigate the hierarchical structure of the $n$-partite quantum states. We present a whole set of hierarchical quantifications as a method of characterizing quantum states, which go beyond genuine multipartite entanglement measures and allow for fine identification among distinct entanglement contributions. This kind of quantifications, termed $k$-GM concurrence, can unambiguously classify entangled states into $(n-1)$ distinct classes from the perspective of $k$-nonseparability with $k$ running from $n$ down to 2, and comply with the axiomatic conditions of an entanglement measure. Compared to $k$-ME concurrence [\href{https://journals.aps.org/pra/abstract/10.1103/PhysRevA.86.062323} {Phys. Rev. A \textbf{86}, 062323 (2012)}], the hierarchical measures proposed by us embody advantages in distinguishing same class entangled state and measuring continuity. In addition, we establish the relation between $k$-ME concurrence and $k$-GM concurrence, and further derive a strong lower bound on the $k$-GM concurrence by exploiting the permutationally invariant part of a quantum state. Furthermore, we parametrize $k$-GM concurrence to obtain two more general and complete categories of quantifications, $q$-$k$-GM concurrence $(q>1)$ and $\alpha$-$k$-GM concurrence $(0\leq\alpha<1)$, which obey the properties enjoyed by $k$-GM concurrence as well. In particular, $\alpha$-$2$-GM concurrence $(0<\alpha<1)$ determines that the GHZ state and the $W$ state belong to the same hierarchy, and it is proven in detail satisfying the requirement that the GHZ state is more entangled than the $W$ state in multiqubit systems.

Entanglement constraint on wave-particle duality for tripartite systems

A global multi-partite entanglement may place a constraint on the wave-particle duality. We investigate this constraint relation of the global entanglement and the quantitative wave-particle duality in tripartite systems. We perform quantum state tomography to reconstruct the reduced density matrix by using the OriginQ quantum computing cloud platform. As a result, we show that, theoretically and experimentally, the quantitative wave-particle duality is indeed constrained by the global tripartite entanglement.

Multipartite entanglement detection via generalized Wigner-Yanase skew information

The detection of multipartite entanglement in multipartite quantum systems is a fundamental and key issue in quantum information theory. In this paper, we investigate $k$-nonseparability and $k$-partite entanglement of $N$-partite quantum systems from the perspective of the generalized Wigner-Yanase skew information introduced by Yang $et$ $al$. [\href{https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevA.106.052401 }{Phys. Rev. A \textbf{106}, 052401 (2022)}]. More specifically, we develop two different approaches in form of inequalities to construct entanglement criteria, which are expressed in terms of the generalized Wigner-Yanase skew information. Any violation of these inequalities by a quantum state reveals its $k$-nonseparability or $k$-partite entanglement, so these inequalities present the hierarchic classifications of $k$-nonseparability or $k$-partite entanglement for all $N$-partite quantum states from $N$-nonseparability to $2$-nonseparability or from $2$-partite entanglement to $N$-partite entanglement, which are more refined than well-known ways. It is shown that our results reveal some $k$-nonseparability and $k$-partite entanglement that remain undetected by other methods, and these are illustrated through some examples.

Parameterized multipartite entanglement measures

We investigate parameterized multipartite entanglement measures from the perspective of $k$-nonseparability in this paper. We present two types of entanglement measures in $n$-partite systems, $q$-$k$-ME concurrence $(q\geq2,~2\leq k\leq n)$ and $\alpha$-$k$-ME concurrence $(0\leq\alpha\leq\frac{1}{2},~2\leq k\leq n)$, which unambiguously detect all $k$-nonseparable states in arbitrary $n$-partite systems. Rigorous proofs show that the proposed $k$-nonseparable measures satisfy all the requirements for being an entanglement measure including the entanglement monotone, strong monotone, convexity, vanishing on all $k$-separable states, and being strictly greater than zero for all $k$-nonseparable states. In particular, the $q$-2-ME concurrence and $\alpha$-2-ME concurrence, renamed as $q$-GME concurrence and $\alpha$-GME concurrence, respectively, are two kinds of genuine entanglement measures corresponding the case where the systems are divided into bipartition $(k=2)$. The lower bounds of two classes $k$-nonseparable measures are obtained by employing the approach that takes into account the permutationally invariant part of a quantum state. And the relations between $q$-$n$-ME concurrence ($\alpha$-$n$-ME concurrence) and global negativity are established. In addition, we discuss the degree of separability and elaborate on an effective detection method with concrete examples. Moreover, we compare the $q$-GME concurrence defined by us to other genuine entanglement measures.

Strong quantum nonlocality with genuine entanglement in an $N$-qutrit system

In this paper, we construct genuinely multipartite entangled bases in $(\mathbb{C}^{3})^{\otimes N}$ for $N\geq3$, where every state is one-uniform state. By modifying this construction, we successfully obtain strongly nonlocal orthogonal genuinely entangled sets and strongly nonlocal orthogonal genuinely entangled bases, which provide an answer to the open problem raised by Halder $et~al.$ [\href{https://journals.aps.org/prl/abstract/10.1103/PhysRevLett.122.040403} {Phy. Rev. Lett. \textbf{122}, 040403 (2019)}]. The strongly nonlocal orthogonal genuine entangled set we constructed in $(\mathbb{C}^{3})^{\otimes N}$ contains much fewer quantum states than all known ones. When $N>3$, our result answers the open question given by Wang $et~al$. [\href{https://journals.aps.org/pra/abstract/10.1103/PhysRevA.104.012424} {Phys. Rev. A \textbf{104}, 012424 (2021)}].

Efficient detection for quantum states containing fewer than $k$ unentangled particles in multipartite quantum systems

In this paper, we mainly investigate the detection of quantum states containing fewer than $k$ unentangled particles in multipartite quantum systems. Based on calculations about operators, we derive two practical criteria for judging $N$-partite quantum states owning fewer than $k$ unentangled particles. In addition, we demonstrate the effectiveness of our frameworks through some concrete examples, and specifically point out the quantum states having fewer than $k$ unentangled particles that our methods can detect, while other criteria cannot recognize.

The concept of \textquotedblleft the permutationally invariant part of a density matrx\textquotedblright constitutes an important tool for entanglement characterization of multiqubit systems. In this paper, we first present $(k+1)$-partite entanglement measure of $N$-partite quantum system, which possesses desirable properties of an entanglement measure. Moreover, we give strong bounds on this measure by considering the permutationally invariant part of a multipartite state. We give two definitions of efficient measurable degree of $(k+1)$-partite entanglement. Finally, several concrete examples are given to illustrate the effectiveness of our results.

Measures of imaginarity and quantum state order

Complex numbers are widely used in both classical and quantum physics, and play an important role in describing quantum systems and their dynamical behavior. In this paper we study several measures of imaginarity of quantum states in the framework of resource theory, such as the measures based on $l_{1}$ norm, and convex function, etc. We also investigate the influence of the quantum channels on quantum state order for a single-qubit.

Methods of constructing superposition measures

The resource theory of quantum superposition is an extension of the quantum coherent theory, in which linear independence relaxes the requirement of orthogonality. It can be used to quantify the nonclassical in superposition of finite number of optical coherent states. Based on convex roof extended, state transformation and weight, we give three methods of constructing superposition measures of quantum states, respectively. We also generalize the superposition resource theory from two perspectives.

Strong quantum nonlocality without entanglement in $n$-partite system with even $n$

In multipartite systems, great progress has been made recently on the study of strong quantum nonlocality without entanglement. However, the existence of orthogonal product sets with strong quantum nonlocality in even party systems remains unknown. Here the even number is greater than four. In this paper, we successfully construct strongly nonlocal orthogonal product sets in $n$-partite systems for all even $n$, which answers the open questions given by Halder et al. [\href{https://journals.aps.org/prl/abstract/10.1103/PhysRevLett.122.040403} {Phys. Rev. Lett \textbf{122}, 040403 (2019)}] and Yuan et al. [\href{https://journals.aps.org/pra/abstract/10.1103/PhysRevA.102.042228} {Phys. Rev. A \textbf{102}, 042228 (2020)}] for any possible even party systems. Thus, we find general construction of strongly nonlocal orthogonal product sets in space $\otimes_{i=1}^{n}\mathcal{C}^{d_{i}}$ ($n,d_{i}\geq 3$) and show that there do exist incomplete orthogonal product bases that can be strongly nonlocal in any possible $n$-partite systems for all even $n$. Our newly constructed orthogonal product sets are asymmetric. We analyze the differences and connections between these sets and the known orthogonal product sets in odd party systems. In addition, we present a local state discrimination protocol for our sets by using additional entangled resource. When at least two subsystems have dimensions greater than three, the protocol consumes less entanglement than teleportation-based protocol. Strongly nonlocal set implies that the information cannot be completely accessed as long as it does not happen that all parties are together. As an application, we connect our sets with local information hiding in multipartite system.

Quantum properties in the four-node network

There are different preparable quantum states in different network structures. The four nodes as a whole has two situations: one is the four nodes in a plane, the other is the four nodes in the space. In this paper, we obtain some properties of the quantum states that can be prepared in four-node network structures. These include the properties of entropy, entanglement measure, rank and multipartite entangled states. These properties also mean that the network structures impose some constraints on the states that can be prepared in a four-node quantum network. In order to obtain these properties we also define $n$-partite mutual information of the quantum system, which satisfies symmetry requirement.
