The additivity of states uniquely determined by marginals

Abstract

The pure states that can be uniquely determined among all (UDA) states by their marginals are essential to efficient quantum state tomography. We generalize the UDA states from the context of pure states to that of arbitrary (no matter pure or mixed) states, motivated by the efficient state tomography of low-rank states. We call the \emph{additivity} of $k$-UDA states for three different composite ways of tensor product, if the composite state of two $k$-UDA states is still uniquely determined by the $k$-partite marginals for the corresponding type of tensor product. We show that the additivity holds if one of the two initial states is pure, and present the conditions under which the additivity holds for two mixed UDA states. One of the three composite ways of tensor product is also adopted to construct genuinely multipartite entangled (GME) states. Therefore, it is effective to construct multipartite $k$-UDA state with genuine entanglement by uniting the additivity of $k$-UDA states and the construction of GME states.
