Additivity of Entanglement of Formation of Two Three-level-antisymmetric States

Abstract

Quantum entanglement is the quantum information processing resource. Thus it is of importance to understand how much of entanglement particular quantum states have, and what kinds of laws entanglement and also transformation between entanglement states subject to. Therefore, it is essentialy important to use proper measures of entanglement which have nice properties. One of the major candidates of such measures is "entanglement of formation", and whether this measurement is additive or not is an important open problem. We aim at certain states so-called "antisymmetric states" for which the additivity are not solved as far as we know, and show the additivity for two of them. Keywords: quantum entanglement, entanglement of formation, additivity of entanglement measures, antisymmetric states.
