Three-Tangle for Rank-3 Mixed States: mixture of Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger, W and flipped W states

Abstract

Three-tangle for the rank-three mixture composed of Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger, W and flipped W states is analytically calculated. The optimal decompositions in the full range of parameter space are constructed by making use of the convex-roof extension. We also provide an analytical technique, which determines whether or not an arbitrary rank-3 state has vanishing three-tangle. This technique is developed by making use of the Bloch sphere S^8 of the qutrit system. The Coffman-Kundu-Wootters inequality is discussed by computing one-tangle and concurrences. It is shown that the one-tangle is always larger than the sum of squared concurrences and three-tangle. The physical implication of three-tangle is briefly discussed.
