Entanglement of four-qubit systems: a geometric atlas with polynomial compass II (the tame world)

We propose a new approach to the geometry of the four-qubit entanglement classes depending on parameters. More precisely, we use invariant theory and algebraic geometry to describe various stratifications of the Hilbert space by SLOCC invariant algebraic varieties. The normal forms of the four-qubit classification of Verstraete {\em et al.} are interpreted as dense subsets of components of the dual variety of the set of separable states and an algorithm based on the invariants/covariants of the four-qubit quantum states is proposed to identify a state with a SLOCC equivalent normal form (up to qubits permutation).Comment: 49 pages, 16 figure
