Abstract

We investigates the joint compatibility problem of the three pairwise concurrences, the three-tangle, and the Kempe invariant in arbitrary pure three-qubit states, and gives necessary and sufficient conditions for these five quantities to be simultaneously realizable by the same pure state. This five-dimensional compatibility region can be viewed as a fiber structure over the previously derived four-dimensional reachable region. We further find that the residual continuous local-unitary freedom depends on the position of the state within this region. In the generic interior, one continuous degree of freedom remains. It is fixed if the three-tangle vanishes or a pairwise concurrence becomes zero, and also at the boundary of the four-dimensional tangle region. The Kempe invariant gives the simplest algebraic parametrization of the fifth coordinate, but the same degree of freedom may be described by a known pure-state entanglement monotone. The compatibility conditions can also be expressed in terms of concurrence-based bipartite measures and multipartite quantities fixed by the pairwise concurrences and the three-tangle.

Complete product-state contact set and optimality of the canonical three-qubit Shifts witness

For the three-qubit Shifts unextendible product basis (UPB), the minimum product-state expectation value $\lambda_{\mathrm{Shifts}}=1-3\sqrt6/8$ of the UPB projector is known, and four attaining product states were exhibited previously. We determine the complete equality set over all complex product states and prove th...

Bargmann Invariants Are Insufficient for Complete Local-Unitary Orbit Discrimination

Bargmann invariants constructed from a bipartite density operator and its two lifted marginals are polynomial invariants of local-unitary conjugation. We determine the precise information encoded in these invariants. Whenever one subsystem is a qubit, the ordinary marginal-word family determines the full spectrum of th...

Pairwise detection, chiral conversion: Resource theory of quantum multistates

Basis-independent coherence of a quantum multistate is fixed by whether its constituent states commute, and for qubits it is detected by pairwise state overlaps alone. What governs its deterministic transformation has been open. We give the exact resource-conversion theory of quantum multistates under common commutativ...

Characterizing local unitary equivalence of multipartite states by local unitary Bargmann invariants

Local unitary (LU) equivalent states are crucial for understanding the structure of quantum entanglement. We investigate the LU equivalence based on the LU Bargmann invariants (LUBIs). We consider for which states the LUBIs are sufficient to ensure the LU equivalence. We focus on a class of multipartite states with com...

Asymmetric quantum cloning on orthogonal orbits and four-mode fermionic states

In this work, we study asymmetric $(1\to2)$ quantum cloning for pure states belonging to orbits generated by the orthogonal group. For every dimension $(d\geq3)$, we determine the full region of achievable pairs of average single-copy fidelities. Using orthogonal covariance and the Brauer algebra, we reduce the optimiz...

Supporting functionals and singular boundary geometry of two-qubit entanglement of formation

We give a criterion for the existence of a global supporting affine functional for the entanglement of formation at an entangled two-qubit state. It exists if and only if the spin-flip bilinear form is nondegenerate on the support of the state, or equivalently, if the last concurrence root associated with the support i...
