Entanglement Universality of TGX States in Qubit-Qutrit Systems

Abstract

We prove that all states (mixed or pure) of qubit-qutrit ($2\times 3$) systems have entanglement-preserving unitary (EPU) equivalence to a compact subset of true-generalized X (TGX) states called EPU-minimal TGX states which we give explicitly. Thus, for any spectrum-entanglement combination achievable by general states, there exists an EPU-minimal TGX state of the same spectrum and entanglement. We use I-concurrence to measure entanglement and give an explicit formula for it for all $2\times 3$ minimal TGX states (a more general set than EPU-minimal TGX states) whether mixed or pure, yielding its minimum average value over all decompositions. We also give a computable I-concurrence formula for a more general family called minimal super-generalized X (SGX) states, and give optimal decompositions for minimal SGX states and all of their subsets.
