Separable states are more disordered globally than locally

Abstract

A remarkable feature of quantum entanglement is that an entangled state of two parties, Alice (A) and Bob (B), may be more disordered locally than globally. That is, S(A) > S(A,B), where S(.) is the von Neumann entropy. It is known that satisfaction of this inequality implies that a state is non-separable. In this paper we prove the stronger result that for separable states the vector of eigenvalues of the density matrix of system AB is majorized by the vector of eigenvalues of the density matrix of system A alone. This gives a strong sense in which a separable state is more disordered globally than locally and a new necessary condition for separability of bipartite states in arbitrary dimensions. We also investigate the extent to which these conditions are sufficient to characterize separability, exhibiting examples that show separability cannot be characterized solely in terms of the local and global spectra of a state. We apply our conditions to give a simple proof that non-separable states exist sufficiently close to the completely mixed state of $n$ qudits.
