Tripartite to Bipartite Entanglement Transformations and Polynomial Identity Testing

arXiv:0908.0440 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.81.052310

Abstract

We consider the problem of deciding if a given three-party entangled pure state can be converted, with a non-zero success probability, into a given two-party pure state through local quantum operations and classical communication. We show that this question is equivalent to the well-known computational problem of deciding if a multivariate polynomial is identically zero. Efficient randomized algorithms developed to study the latter can thus be applied to the question of tripartite to bipartite entanglement transformations.
