Gaussian relative entropy of entanglement

Abstract

For two gaussian states with given correlation matrices, in order that relative entropy between them is practically calculable, I in this paper describe the ways of transforming the correlation matrix to matrix in the exponential density operator. Gaussian relative entropy of entanglement is proposed as the minimal relative entropy of the gaussian state with respect to separable gaussian state set. I prove that gaussian relative entropy of entanglement achieves when the separable gaussian state is at the border of separable gaussian state set and inseparable gaussian state set. For two mode gaussian states, the calculation of gaussian relative entropy of entanglement is greatly simplified from searching for a matrix with 10 undetermined parameters to 3 variables. The two mode gaussian states are classified as four types, numerical evidence strongly suggests that gaussian relative entropy of entanglement for each type is realized by the separable state within the same type.For symmetric gaussian state it is strictly proved that it is achieved by symmetric gaussian state.
