Estimating multipartite entanglement measures

Abstract

We investigate the lower bound obtained from experimental data of a quantum state $\rho$, as proposed independently by Gühne et al. and Eisert et al. for mixed states of three qubits. The measure we consider is the convex-roof extended three-tangle. Our findings highlight an intimate relation to lower bounds obtained recently from so-called characteristic curves of a given entanglement measure. We apply the bounds to estimate the three-tangle present in recently performed experiments aimed at producing a three-qubit GHZ state. A non-vanishing lower bound is obtained if the GHZ-fidelity of the produced states is larger than 3/4.
