Enhanced Schmidt-number criteria based on correlation trace norms
Armin Tavakoli, Simon Morelli · Physical Review A · 2024
The Schmidt number represents the genuine entanglement dimension of a bipartite quantum state. We derive simple criteria for the Schmidt number of a density matrix in arbitrary local dimensions, given that certain symmetric measurements exist. They are based on the trace norm of correlations obtained from seminal families of quantum measurements, specifically symmetric informationally complete measurements and mutually unbiased bases. Our criteria are strictly stronger than both the well-known fidelity witness criterion and the computable cross-norm or realignment criterion.
