Geometric Measure of Entanglement of Rank-2 Mixed Multiqubit States and its Estimation on a Quantum Processor
Abstract
The geometric measure of entanglement of mixed states is investigated based on its relation to spin correlations. We derive an analytical expression for the entanglement of rank-2 mixed states composed of arbitrary multiqubit pure states within a two-dimensional Hilbert subspace. The dependence of the entanglement of rank-2 mixed multiqubit states on the parameters characterizing arbitrary pure states in the mixture is studied both analytically and using quantum computing. For a particular class of mixed states, namely, equal-probability mixtures of an arbitrary multiqubit state and the Schrödinger cat state, we construct quantum protocols for detecting the geometric measure of entanglement based on its relation to spin correlations. We quantify the entanglement using both the AerSimulator and the ibm_marrakesh quantum computer. The effects of quantum-computing errors are also analyzed. The simulation results reproduce the analytical dependencies, while measurements on the quantum device demonstrate good agreement with theoretical predictions within estimated error bounds.
