A Hierarchy of Multipartite Correlations Based on Concentratable Entanglement

Abstract

Multipartite entanglement is one of the hallmarks of quantum mechanics and is central to quantum information processing. In this work we show that Concentratable Entanglement (CE), an operationally motivated entanglement measure, induces a hierarchy upon pure states from which different entanglement structures can be certified. In particular, we find that nearly all genuine multipartite entangled states can be verified through CE. In the process we find the exact maximal value of CE and corresponding states for up to 18 qubits and show that these correspond to extremal quantum error correcting codes. The latter allows us to unravel a deep connection between CE and coding theory. Finally, our results also offer an alternative proof, on up to 31 qubits, that absolutely maximally entangled states do not exist.
