Four-qubit entangled symmetric states with positive partial transpositions

Abstract: We solve the open question of the existence of four-qubit entangled symmetric states with positive partial transpositions (PPT states). We reach this goal with two different approaches. First, we propose a half-analytical-half-numerical method that allows to construct multipartite PPT entangled symmetric states (PPTESS) from the qubit-qudit PPT entangled states. Second, we adapt the algorithm allowing to search for extremal elements in the convex set of bipartite PPT states [J. M. Leinaas, J. Myrheim, and E. O… Show more

“…From theorems 2 and 3 it follows that PPT states of ranks (5, r(ρ TA ), r(ρ TAB )) with r(ρ TA ) ≤ 6 or r(ρ TAB ) ≤ 6 are either all separable or generically separable. Then, theorem 6 states that generic PPT states of ranks (5,8,7) are not edge and thus not extremal. Finally, Ineq.…”

“…Therefore, Eq. (27) We already know that for there exist PPT entangled symmetric states consisting of more than three qubits [8,17,18] and thus indecomposable entanglement witnesses detecting them. Consequently, the above method does not apply in general for even N ≥ 8.…”
