Multipartite entanglement measure for all discrete systems
arXiv:0712.0346 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.78.012342
Abstract
Via a multidimensional complementarity relation we derive a novel operational entanglement measure for any discrete quantum system, i.e. for any multidimensional and multipartite system. This new measure admits a separation into different classes of entanglement obtained by using a flip operator 2,3,...,n times, defining a m-flip concurrence. For mixed states bounds on this m-flip concurrence can be obtained. Moreover, the information content of a n partite multidimensional system admits an intuitive interpretation. Explicitly, the three qubits system is analyzed and the physical difference in entanglement of the W-state, the GHZ state or the bi-separable state is revealed.
