Verifying genuine multipartite entanglement of the whole from its separable parts

Abstract: We prove experimentally the predicted existence of a three-qubit quantum state with genuine multipartite entanglement which can be certified solely from its separable two-qubit reduced density matrices. The qubits are encoded into different degrees of freedom of a pair of correlated photons and the state is prepared by letting the photons to propagate through a linear optical circuit. The presence of genuine multipartite entanglement is verified by finding numerically a fully decomposable entanglement witness … Show more

“…The matrix A (3,2) must be constructed in such a way that there are no product, across the cuts B|AC and C|AB, nonzero vectors perpendicular to the subspace spanned by vectors (11). Let us concentrate on the first case, while for the second one the reasoning goes along the same lines with the only difference that the matrix elements are reshuffled in a certain manner.…”

“…The proof is moved to Appendix C. These forms can be further restricted by considering non-existence of other vectors in a subspace, e.g., |+ |i | j and |− |i | j , i, j = 0, 1. One can also reduce the number of parameters at the very beginning and consider only matrices of the form: 11 , with a, b ≥ 0 and two-by-two matrices A i j . This is due to the fact that we can always write A = i, j |i j| ⊗ A i j and perform 1 ⊗ U (•)1 ⊗ V † with U , V stemming from the singular value decomposition of A 00 (this also applies to other blocks).…”

“…So far, only examples of qubit states carrying genuine multipartite entanglement which can be verified solely from separable two-qubit reduced states (marginals) were found [7,8] and demonstrated experimentally [15]. In all these cases, the set of marginals used to certify the entanglement comprised all two-qubit marginals.…”

“…States with genuine multipartite entanglement which can be confirmed using only the elements of the minimal set where found for all configurations of up to six qubits using the iterative numerical search algorithm [9] combining the machinery of entanglement witnesses [17,18] with the tools of semidefinite programming [19]. The best example obtained was three-qubit [8] with the lowest witness mean being roughly three times smaller than the witness mean for the scenario in which all two-qubit marginals are known [8,15]. Moreover, the difference is even more pronounced compared to other theoretically predicted witness means [20] of already successfully implemented multipartite entanglement witnesses experiments [21].…”
