Quantum Circuit Realization of the PPT and CCNR Criteria

Abstract

The efficient detection of quantum entanglement is a central problem in quantum information processing. This paper systematically proposes a quantum circuit implementation scheme based on the Positive Partial Transpose (PPT) and the Computable Cross-Norm Realignment (CCNR) criteria, providing a complete quantum algorithmic pathway for efficient and computable entanglement detection. By encoding quantum states into specific forms and utilizing SWAP operations, complex matrix operations such as partial transpose and realignment are transformed into executable quantum circuits. Furthermore, by integrating an improved variational quantum singular value decomposition subroutine, the scheme enables the efficient estimation of the trace norm, thereby determining the existence of entanglement. Designed to operate within a hybrid quantum-classical framework, this scheme exhibits excellent scalability and practicality, offering a theoretical tool and methodological support for analyzing the entanglement structure of complex quantum systems on future intermediate-scale quantum devices.
