Geometric Characterization and Feasible Region Analysis of Bipartite Qutrit Bound Entanglement
Abstract
We characterize bound entanglement in bipartite qutrit systems by combining the Positive Partial Transpose (PPT) criterion with a structural, non-completely positive map. Focusing on a comprehensive three-parameter bipartite qutrit family ρa,b,c, we present an exact analytical and geometric partitioning of the physical state space simplex. We derive the closed-form quadratic boundary governing the leaf-like PPT region (a2+ab+b2−b ≤ 0) over the domain 0 < a ≤ 1/3, and identify the exact linear threshold (a > c) that characterizes the PPT bound entangled sub-region. This family strictly generalizes the well-known Horodecki bound entangled states, which appear as a single slice of the three-dimensional leaf. Applying the structural map to this decomposition, we show that it certifies bound entanglement throughout the entire threshold region, accounting for 14.76% of the total PPT leaf area.

Focusing on a comprehensive three-parameter bipartite qutrit family ρ_a,b,c, we present an exact analytical and geometric partitioning of the physical state space simplex. We derive the closed-form quadratic boundary governing the leaf-like PPT region (a^2+ab+b^2−b ≤ 0) over the domain 0 < a ≤ 1/3, and identify the exact linear threshold (a > c) that characterizes the PPT bound entangled sub-region.
