Detecting bipartite entanglement with PnCP maps and non-negative polynomials
Abstract
Positive non-Completely Positive (PnCP) maps are an essential tool to detect entanglement since their characterization is a dual aspect of the separability problem. A recent algorithm proposed by Kelp et al. explains how to generate PnCP maps based on the construction of certain positive non-Sum-of-Squares polynomials. We implement this algorithm in a numerically robust way and propose a working version on GitHub. We theoretically demonstrate that the maps produced by the algorithm are indecomposable, localized on the boundary of the positive cone and show that they are inequivalent with most other known PnCP maps. We numerically investigate their entanglement power, demonstrating notably that they are capable of detecting PPT entangled states that most criteria fail to detect.
