A New Method of Classification of Pure Tripartite Quantum States

The classification of the multipartite entanglement is an important problem in quantum information theory. We propose a class of two qubit mixed states $σ_{AB}= p|χ_{1}\rangle\langleχ_{1}|\otimesρ_{1}+(1-p)|χ_{2}\rangle\langleχ_{2}|\otimesρ_{2}$, where $|χ_{1}\rangle=α|0\rangle+β|1\rangle$, $|χ_{2}\rangle=β|0\rangle+(-1)^{n}α|1\rangle$. We have shown that the state $σ_{AB}$ represent a classical state when $n$ is odd while it represent a non-classical state when $n$ is even. The purification of the state $σ_{AB}$ is studied and found that the purification is possible if the spectral decomposition of the density matrices $ρ_{1}$ and $ρ_{2}$ represent pure states. We have established a relationship between three tangle, which measures the amount of entanglement in three qubit system and the quantity $\langleχ_{1}|χ_{2}\rangle$, which identifies whether the two qubit mixed state is classical or non-classical. The three qubit purified state is then classified as a separable or biseparable or W-type or GHZ-type state using the quantum correlation, measured by geometric discord, of its reduced two qubit density matrix.
