Witnessing Multipartite Entanglement without Entanglement Witness Operators
arXiv:1512.06213 · doi:10.1073/pnas.1603346113
Abstract
Quantum mechanics predicts the existence of correlations between composite systems -- multipartite entanglement (ME) -- that, while puzzling our physical intuition, enable technologies not accessible in a classical world. Notwithstanding, there is still no efficient general method to theoretically quantify and experimentally detect ME. Here we propose a novel paradigm based on the measurement of the statistical response of a quantum systems to a collective parametric evolution. As a major difference with respect to current approaches based on the implementation of entanglement witness operators, we witness ME without relying on measurement efficiencies or tomographic reconstructions of the quantum state. The protocol requires only two settings for any number of parties. To illustrate its user-friendliness we demonstrate ME in different experiments with ions and photons by analyzing published data on fidelity visibilities and averaged observables.
