Matrix Product States: Entanglement, symmetries, and state transformations

arXiv:1901.07448 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.123.170504

Abstract

We analyze entanglement in the family of translationally-invariant matrix product states (MPS). We give a criterion to determine when two states can be transformed into each other by SLOCC transformations, a central question in entanglement theory. We use that criterion to determine SLOCC classes, and explicitly carry out this classification for the simplest, non-trivial MPS. We also characterize all symmetries of MPS, both global and local (inhomogeneous). We illustrate our results with examples of states that are relevant in different physical contexts.
