DEGREE OF ENTANGLEMENT FOR QUANTUM STATES
Abstract
A measure to quantify the degree of entanglement for two qubits (2×2) in a pure state is presented in Phys. Rev.A65, 044303 (2002). We generalize their results to 2×n quantum systems. An analytical expression of the entanglement of formation for quantum mixed states of 2×n quantum systems is obtained. Moreover for multipartite quantum systems a generalized "measure" is presented to judge if a pure state is separable or maximally entangled.
