Teleportation with non-maximally entangled states and underlying unitary algebras of certain bipartite systems (2505.21084v1)

Abstract: New convenient thumbrules are obtained to test entanglement of wavefunctions for bipartite qubit and qutrit systems. All results are analytic. The new results are: (a) For bipartite qubit systems there exists a matrix $A$ for which $\det A = 0$ implies unentanglement while $\det A \ne 0$ implies entanglement. There is an underlying SU(2) algebra. (2) Teleportation for a general qubit state is possible by using non-maximally entangled bipartite qubit states. This protocol has an additional parameter, viz., $\det A$, which enhances the cryptographic security of the teleportation. (c) For qutrits there is a matrix $P$ for which $\det P = 0$ simultaneously with ${\rm tr}P=\pm 1$ imply unentanglement. Any departure from these conditions implies entanglement. There exists an underlying SU(3) algebra. (d) Physical interpretation of the underlying algebras are given and plausible experimental scenarios are proposed for the SU(2) case in the context of two entangled electrons. (e) The entanglement entropy in both cases, viz., for qubits and qutrits respectively, are expressed in terms of the determinants and trace of the matrices mentioned above.
