On the Entangling Power of Quantum Evolutions

arXiv:quant-ph/0005031 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.62.030301

Abstract

We analyze the entangling capabilities of unitary transformations acting on a bipartite -dimensional quantum system. To this aim we introduce an entangling power measure given by the mean linear entropy produced acting with on a given distribution of pure product states. This measure admits a natural interpretation in terms of quantum operations. For a uniform distribution explicit analytical results are obtained using group-theoretic arguments. The behaviour of the features of as the subsystem dimensions and are varied is studied both analytically and numerically. The two-qubit case is argued to be peculiar.
