Improving absolute separability bounds for arbitrary dimensions

Abstract: Sufficient analytical conditions for separability in composite quantum systems are very scarce and only known for low-dimensional cases. Here, we use linear maps and their inverses to derive powerful analytical conditions, providing tight bounds and extremal points of the set of absolutely separable states, i.e., states that remain separable under any global unitary transformation. Our analytical results apply to generic quantum states in arbitrary dimensions, and depend only on a single or very few eigenvalues of the considered state. Furthermore, we use convex geometry tools to improve the general characterization of the AS set given several non-comparable criteria. Finally, we present various conditions related to the twin problem of characterizing absolute PPT, that is, the set of quantum states that are positive under partial transposition and remain so under all unitary transformations.
