Constructing SU(2) x U(1) orbit space for qutrit mixed states

preprint2014arXivOpen access

Abstract

The orbit space P(R8)/G\mathfrak{P}(\mathbb{R}^8)/\mathrm{G}, of the group G:=SU(2)×U(1)⊂U(3)\mathrm{G}:=\mathrm{SU(2)\times U(1)}\subset\mathrm{U(3)} acting adjointly on the state space P(R8)\mathfrak{P}(\mathbb{R}^8) of a 3-level quantum system is discussed. The semi-algebraic structure of P(R8)/G\mathfrak{P}(\mathbb{R}^8) /\mathrm{G}, is determined within the Procesi-Schwarz method. Using the integrity basis for the ring of G-invariant polynomials, R[P(R8)]G\mathbb{R}[\mathfrak{P}(\mathbb{R}^8)]^{\mathrm{G}}, the set of constraints on the Casimir invariants of U(3)\mathrm{U}(3) group coming from the positivity requirement of Procesi-Schwarz gradient matrix, Grad(z)⩾0\mathrm{Grad}(z)\geqslant 0, is analyzed in details.
