Monogamous nature of symmetric N-qubit states of the W-class: Concurrence and Negativity Tangle

Abstract

Using Majorana representation of symmetric N-qubit pure states, we have examined the monogamous nature of the family of states with two-distinct spinors, the W-class of states. We have evaluated the N-concurrence tangle and showed that all the states in this family have vanishing concurrence tangle. The negativity tangle for the W-class of states is shown to be non-zero illustrating the fact that concurrence tangle underestimates the residual entanglement in a pure N-qubit state.
