Generalized concurrence and partial transpose for pure continuous variable systems of arbitrary degrees of freedom using Lagrange's identity and wedge product
Concurrence, introduced by Hill and Wootters [Phys. Rev. Lett. 78, 5022
(1997)], provides an important measure of entanglement for a general pair of
qubits that is strictly positive for entangled states and vanishing for all
separable states. We present an extension of concurrence to general continuous
variable pure states of multiple degrees of freedom by generalizing the
Lagrange's identity and wedge product framework proposed by Bhaskara et al.
[Quantum Inf. Process. 16, 118 (2017)] for pure discrete variable systems in
arbitrary dimensions. A family of faithful entanglement measures, of which
concurrence is a member, is constructed that admit necessary and sufficient
conditions for separability across arbitrary bipartitions, which is shown as a
particular invariance with connections to the partial transpose, uncovering an
inherent geometry of entanglement. This framework may be useful for the further
extensions to mixed states and entanglement in quantum field theories.Comment: 8 pages, 2 figure
