Entanglement detection and parameter estimation of quantum channels
Jun Suzuki · Physical Review A · 2016
We derive a general criterion to detect entangled states in multipartite systems based on the symmetric logarithmic derivative quantum Fisher information. This criterion is a direct consequence of the fact that separable states do not improve the accuracy upon estimating the one-parameter family of quantum channels. Our result is a generalization of the previously known criterion for the one-parameter unitary channel to any one-parameter quantum channel. Several variants of the proposed criterion are also given, and then the general structure is revealed behind this sort of entanglement criteria based on quantum Fisher information. We discuss several examples to illustrate our criterion. In the last part, we briefly show how the proposed criterion can be extended to a more general setting that is applicable for a certain class of open quantum systems, and we discuss how to detect entangled states even in the presence of decoherence.
