On the fidelity of mixed states of two qubits

arXiv:quant-ph/0203073 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.66.022307

Abstract

We consider a single copy of a mixed state of two qubits and show how its fidelity or maximal singlet fraction is related to the entanglement measures concurrence and negativity. We characterize the extreme points of the convex set of states with constant fidelity, and use this to prove tight lower and upper bounds on the fidelity for a given amount of entanglement.
