Quantifying entanglement of two relativistic particles via decomposable optimal entanglement witnesses

Abstract

The study of Entanglement of Formation of a mixed state of a bipartite system in high-dimensional Hilbert space is not easy in general. So, we focus on determining the amount of entanglement for a bipartite mixed state based on the concept of decomposable optimal entanglement witness (DOEW), that can be calculated as a minimum distance of an entangled state from the edge of positive partial transpose (PPT) states which has the most negative (positive) expectation value for non-PPT (bound) entangled states. We have constructed DOEWs based on the convex optimization method, then by using of it we quantify the degree of entanglement for two spin half particles under the Lorentz transformations. For convenience, we restrict ourselves to 2D momentum subspace and under this constraint when the momentum and the Lorentz boost are parallel, we have shown that the entanglement is not relativistic invariant.
