Entanglement of four qubit systems: a geometric atlas with polynomial compass I (the finite world)
We investigate the geometry of the four qubit systems by means of algebraic
geometry and invariant theory, which allows us to interpret certain entangled
states as algebraic varieties. More precisely we describe the nullcone, i.e.,
the set of states annihilated by all invariant polynomials, and also the so
called third secant variety, which can be interpreted as the generalization of
GHZ-states for more than three qubits. All our geometric descriptions go along
with algorithms which allow us to identify any given state in the nullcone or
in the third secant variety as a point of one of the 47 varieties described in
the paper. These 47 varieties correspond to 47 non-equivalent entanglement
patterns, which reduce to 15 different classes if we allow permutations of the
qubits.Comment: 48 pages, 7 tables, 13 figures, references and remarks added (v2

New invariants for entangled states
We propose new algebraic invariants that distinguish and classify entangled
states. Considering qubits as well as higher spin systems, we obtained complete
entanglement classifications for cases that were either unsolved or only
conjectured in the literature.Comment: published versio
On the geometry of a class of N-qubit entanglement monotones
A family of N-qubit entanglement monotones invariant under stochastic local
operations and classical communication (SLOCC) is defined. This class of
entanglement monotones includes the well-known examples of the concurrence, the
three-tangle, and some of the four, five and N-qubit SLOCC invariants
introduced recently. The construction of these invariants is based on bipartite
partitions of the Hilbert space in the form with . Such partitions can be given
a nice geometrical interpretation in terms of Grassmannians Gr(L,l) of l-planes
in that can be realized as the zero locus of quadratic polinomials
in the complex projective space of suitable dimension via the Plucker
embedding. The invariants are neatly expressed in terms of the Plucker
coordinates of the Grassmannian.Comment: 7 pages RevTex, Submitted to Physical Review
Algebraic invariants of five qubits
The Hilbert series of the algebra of polynomial invariants of pure states of
five qubits is obtained, and the simplest invariants are computed.Comment: 4 pages, revtex. Short discussion of quant-ph/0506073 include
Crystal Graphs and -Analogues of Weight Multiplicities for the Root System
We give an expression of the -analogues of the multiplicities of weights
in irreducible \sl_{n+1}-modules in terms of the geometry of the crystal
graph attached to the corresponding U_q(\sl_{n+1})-modules. As an
application, we describe multivariate polynomial analogues of the
multiplicities of the zero weight, refining Kostant's generalized exponents.Comment: LaTeX file with epic, eepic pictures, 17 pages, November 1994, to
