Unified approach to geometric and positive-map-based non-linear entanglement identifiers

Detecting quantumness of correlations (especially entanglement) is a very hard task even in the simplest case i.e. two-partite quantum systems. Here we provide an analysis whether there exists a relation between two most popular types of entanglement identifiers: the first one based on positive maps and not directly applicable in laboratory and the second one --- geometric entanglement identifier which is based on specific Hermiticity-preserving maps. We show a profound relation between those two types of entanglement criteria. Hereunder we have proposed a general framework of nonlinear functional entanglement identifiers which allows us to construct new experimentally friendly entanglement criteria.

Quantum noise generated by local random Hamiltonians

We investigate the impact of a local random unitary noise on multipartite quantum states of an arbitrary dimension. We follow the dynamical approach, in which the single-particle unitaries are generated by local random Hamiltonians. Assuming short evolution time we derive a lower bound on the fidelity between an initial and the final state transformed by this type of noise. This result is based on averaging the Tamm-Mandelstam bound and holds for a wide class of distributions of random Hamiltonians fulfilling specific symmetry conditions. It is showed how the sensitivity of a given pure quantum state to the discussed type of noise depends on the properties of single-particle and bipartite reduced states.

Notes on the Riccati operator equation in open quantum systems

A recent problem [B. Gardas, J. Math. Phys. 52, 042104 (2011)] concerning an antilinear solution of the Riccati equation is solved. We also exemplify that a simplification of the Riccati equation, even under reasonable assumptions, can lead to a not equivalent equation.

Stationary states of two-level open quantum systems

A problem of finding stationary states of open quantum systems is addressed. We focus our attention on a generic type of open system: a qubit coupled to its environment. We apply the theory of block operator matrices and find stationary states of two--level open quantum systems under certain conditions applied both on the qubit and the surrounding.
