Irreducible multi-particle correlations in states without maximal rank

arXiv:0803.2747 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.101.180505

Abstract

In a system of quantum particles, the correlations are classified into a series of irreducible -particle correlations (), where the irreducible -particle correlation is the correlation appearing in the states of particles but not existing in the states of particles. A measure of the degree of irreducible -particle correlation is defined based on the maximal entropy construction. By adopting a continuity approach, we overcome the difficulties in calculating the degrees of irreducible multi-particle correlations for the multi-particle states without maximal rank. In particular, we obtain the degrees of irreducible multi-particle correlations in the -qubit stabilizer states and the -qubit generalized GHZ states, which reveals the distribution of multi-particle correlations in these states.
