Simple sufficient condition for subspace to be completely or genuinely entangled

We introduce a simple sufficient criterion, which allows one to tell whether a subspace of a bipartite or multipartite Hilbert space is entangled. The main ingredient of our criterion is a bound on the minimal entanglement of a subspace in terms of entanglement of vectors spanning that subspace expressed for geometrical measures of entanglement. The criterion is applicable to both completely and genuinely entangled subspaces. We explore its usefulness in several important scenarios. Further, an entanglement criterion for mixed states following directly from the condition is stated. As an auxiliary result we provide a formula for the generalized geometric measure of entanglement of the $d$--level Dicke states.

Thirty-six entangled officers of Euler: Quantum solution to a classically impossible problem

The negative solution to the famous problem of $36$ officers of Euler implies that there are no two orthogonal Latin squares of order six. We show that the problem has a solution, provided the officers are entangled, and construct orthogonal quantum Latin squares of this size. As a consequence, we find an example of the long-elusive Absolutely Maximally Entangled state AME$(4,6)$ of four subsystems with six levels each, equivalently a $2$-unitary matrix of size $36$, which maximizes the entangling power among all bipartite unitary gates of this dimension, or a perfect tensor with four indices, each running from one to six. This special state deserves the appellation golden AME state as the golden ratio appears prominently in its elements. This result allows us to construct a pure nonadditive quhex quantum error detection code $(\!(3,6,2)\!)_6$, which saturates the Singleton bound and allows one to encode a $6$-level state into a triplet of such states.

Genuinely quantum SudoQ and its cardinality

We expand the quantum variant of the popular game Sudoku by introducing the notion of cardinality of a quantum Sudoku (SudoQ), equal to the number of distinct vectors appearing in the pattern. Our considerations are focused on the genuinely quantum solutions, which are the solutions of size $N^2$ that have cardinality greater than $N^2$, and therefore cannot be reduced to classical counterparts by a unitary transformation. We find the complete parameterization of the genuinely quantum solutions of $4 \times 4$ SudoQ game and establish that in this case the admissible cardinalities are 4, 6, 8 and 16. In particular, a solution with the maximal cardinality equal to 16 is presented. Furthermore, the parametrization enabled us to prove a recent conjecture of Nechita and Pillet for this special dimension. In general, we proved that for any $N$ it is possible to find an $N^2 \times N^2$ SudoQ solution of cardinality $N^4$, which for a prime $N$ is related to a set of $N$ mutually unbiased bases of size $N^2$. Such a construction of $N^4$ different vectors of size $N$ yields a set of $N^3$ orthogonal measurements.

Algebraic and geometric structures inside the Birkhoff polytope

The Birkhoff polytope $\mathcal{B}_d$ consisting of all bistochastic matrices of order $d$ assists researchers from many areas, including combinatorics, statistical physics and quantum information. Its subset $\mathcal{U}_d$ of unistochastic matrices, determined by squared moduli of unitary matrices, is of a particular importance for quantum theory as classical dynamical systems described by unistochastic transition matrices can be quantised. In order to investigate the problem of unistochasticity we introduce the set $\mathcal{L}_d$ of bracelet matrices that forms a subset of $\mathcal{B}_d$, but a superset of $\mathcal{U}_d$. We prove that for every dimension $d$ this set contains the set of factorisable bistochastic matrices $\mathcal{F}_d$ and is closed under matrix multiplication by elements of $\mathcal{F}_d$. Moreover, we prove that both $\mathcal{L}_d$ and $\mathcal{F}_d$ are star-shaped with respect to the flat matrix. We also analyse the set of $d\times d$ unistochastic matrices arising from circulant unitary matrices, and show that their spectra lie inside $d$-hypocycloids on the complex plane. Finally, applying our results to small dimensions, we fully characterise the set of circulant unistochastic matrices of order $d\leq 4$, and prove that such matrices form a monoid for $d=3$.

Entangling power of multipartite unitary gates

We study the entangling properties of multipartite unitary gates with respect to the measure of entanglement called one-tangle. Putting special emphasis on the case of three parties, we derive an analytical expression for the entangling power of an $n$-partite gate as an explicit function of the gate, linking the entangling power of gates acting on $n$-partite Hilbert space of dimension $d_1 \ldots d_n$ to the entanglement of pure states in the Hilbert space of dimension $(d_1 \ldots d_n)^2$. Furthermore, we evaluate its mean value averaged over the unitary and orthogonal groups, analyze the maximal entangling power and relate it to the absolutely maximally entangled (AME) states of a system with $2n$ parties. Finally, we provide a detailed analysis of the entangling properties of three-qubit unitary and orthogonal gates.

Robust Hadamard matrices, unistochastic rays in Birkhoff polytope and equi-entangled bases in composite spaces

We study a special class of (real or complex) robust Hadamard matrices, distinguished by the property that their projection onto a $2$-dimensional subspace forms a Hadamard matrix. It is shown that such a matrix of order $n$ exists, if there exists a skew Hadamard matrix of this size. This is the case for any even dimension $n\le 20$, and for these dimensions we demonstrate that a bistochastic matrix $B$ located at any ray of the Birkhoff polytope, (which joins the center of this body with any permutation matrix), is unistochastic. An explicit form of the corresponding unitary matrix $U$, such that $B_{ij}=|U_{ij}|^2$, is determined by a robust Hadamard matrix. These unitary matrices allow us to construct a family of orthogonal bases in the composed Hilbert space of order $n \times n$. Each basis consists of vectors with the same degree of entanglement and the constructed family interpolates between the product basis and the maximally entangled basis.

Effect of relativistic acceleration on continuous variable quantum teleportation and dense coding

We investigate how relativistic acceleration of the observers can affect the performance of the quantum teleportation and dense coding for continuous variable states of localized wavepackets. Such protocols are typically optimized for symmetric resources prepared in an inertial frame of reference. A mismatch of the sender's and the receiver's accelerations can introduce asymmetry to the shared entanglement, which has an effect on the efficiency of the protocol that goes beyond entanglement degradation due to acceleration. We show how these asymmetry losses can be reduced by an extra LOCC step in the protocols.
