Entanglement and volume monogamy features of permutation symmetric N-qubit pure states with N-distinct spinors: GHZ and WWbar states

Abstract

We explore the entanglement features of pure symmetric N-qubit states characterized by N-distinct spinors with a particular focus on the Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger(GHZ) states and WWbar, an equal superposition of W and obverse W states. Along with a comparison of pairwise entanglement and monogamy properties, we explore the geometric information contained in them by constructing their canonical steering ellipsoids. We obtain the volume monogamy relations satisfied by WWbar states as a function of number of qubits and compare with the maximal monogamy property of GHZ states.
