Constructions of Dicke states in high spin multi-particle systems

Abstract

We study the constructions of Dicke states of identical particles of spin-$1$, $3/2$ and $2$ in the number representation with given particle number $N$ and magnetic quantum number $M$. The complete bases and corresponding coefficients in the Dicke states are given, in terms of which the Dicke states are explicitly expressed in the number representation. As a byproduct, a rule of how to construct all the anti-symmetric states in these high spin systems is given. Finally, by employing the negativity as the entanglement measure, we explore the entanglement properties for spin-$1$ cases including certain pure states of two particles and many-particle Dicke states.
