  2. Imperial College London Cambridge, 17th December 2004 Entanglement theory Provide efficient methods to • decide which states are entangled and which are disentangled(Characterize) • decide which LOCC entanglement manipulations are possible and provide the protocols to implement them(Manipulate) • decide how much entanglement is in a state and how efficient entanglement manipulations can be(Quantify) Mathematical characterization of all multi-party states

Imperial College London Cambridge, 17th December 2004 Entanglement Measures Entropy of Entanglement: Logarithmic Negativity: Distillable Entanglement: Efficiently computable directly from the properties of covariance matrix Tutorial Review: J.

Cirac, and M.B. Plenio, Quant. Inf. Comp. 3, 211 (2003); A. Botero and B. Reznik, Phys. Rev. A 67, 052311 (2003)

  17. Imperial College London Cambridge, 17th December 2004 Why should the entropy proportional to the area? Can prove this exactly: Intuition from squared interaction.

  19. Imperial College London Cambridge, 17th December 2004 Why should the entropy proportional to the area? Obtain a simple normal form Disentangle oscillators except on surface Disentangle ViaGLOCC Need to bound entanglement of number of entangled pairs linear in surface area. Find area independent bound Entanglement proportional to area

  20. Imperial College London Cambridge, 17th December 2004 Disentangling also works for thermal states! Disentangle ViaGLOCC Now decoupled oscillators are in mixed state, but they are NOT entangled to any other oscillator (only to environment). Then make eigenvalue estimates to find bounds on entanglement.
