Direct evaluation of pure graph state entanglement    [PDF]

Michal Hajdušek, Mio Murao
We address the question of quantifying entanglement in pure graph states. Evaluation of multipartite entanglement measures is extremely hard for most pure quantum states. In this paper we demonstrate how solving one problem in graph theory, namely the identification of maximum independent set, allows us to evaluate three multipartite entanglement measures for pure graph states. We construct the minimal linear decomposition into product states for a large group of pure graph states, allowing us to evaluate the Schmidt measure. Furthermore we show that computation of distance-like measures such as relative entropy of entanglement and geometric measure becomes tractable for these states by explicit construction of closest separable and closest product states respectively. We show how these separable states can be described using stabiliser formalism as well as PEPs-like construction. Finally we discuss the way in which introducing noise to the system can optimally destroy entanglement.
