Constructing all entanglement witnesses from density matrices

preprint2011arXivOpen access

Abstract

We demonstrate a general procedure to construct entanglement witnesses for any entangled state. This procedure is based on the trace inequality and a general form of entanglement witnesses, which is in the form W=ρ−cρIW=ρ-c_ρ I, where ρρ is a density matrix, cρc_ρ is a non-negative number related to ρρ, and II is the identity matrix. The general form of entanglement witnesses is deduced from Choi-Jamiołkowski isomorphism, that can be reinterpreted as that all quantum states can be obtained by a maximally quantum entangled state pass through certain completely positive maps. Furthermore, we provide the necessary and sufficient condition of the entanglement witness W=ρ−cρIW=ρ-c_ρI in operation, as well as in theory.
