Tensor products of convex sets and the volume of separable states onNqudits
Open accessAbstract
This paper deals with estimating the volume of the set of separable mixed quantum states when the dimension of the state space grows to infinity. This has been studied recently for qubits; here we consider larger particles and conclude that, in all cases, the proportion of the states that are separable is superexponentially small in the dimension of the set. We also show that the partial transpose criterion becomes imprecise when the dimension increases, and that the lower bound ${6}^{\ensuremath{-}N∕2}$ on the (Hilbert-Schmidt) inradius of the set of separable states on $N$ qubits obtained recently by Gurvits and Barnum is essentially optimal. We employ standard tools of classical convexity, high-dimensional probability, and geometry of Banach spaces. One relatively nonstandard point is a formal introduction of the concept of projective tensor products of convex bodies, and an initial study of this concept.

In the case where N/k = s ∈ N, a speed-up can be obtained for pure states using the time-independent Hamiltonian H = √s ∑_{μ=1}^s h_μ, with h_μ = |1⟩^{⊗k}⟨d|^{⊗k} + h.c., assuming each h_μ acts on a completely different set of k batteries.
“In this particular case, such a speed-up can be obtained for pure states using the time-independent Hamiltonian H = √ s ∑ s µ =1 h µ , with h µ = | 1 〉 ⊗ k 〈 d | ⊗ k + h.c. , assuming that each h µ acts on a completely different set of k batteries, i.e. , [ h µ , h µ ′ ] = 0 ∀ µ, µ ′ .”

Γ_C1 = √k and Γ_C2 = k are achievable if the total number of batteries N can be divided by k, i.e., if N/k = s ∈ N.
“For comparison, it has been shown elsewhere that Γ C1 = √ k and Γ C2 = k are achievable if the total number of batteries N can be divided by k , i.e. , if N/k = s ∈ N [15, 36].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
