A maximum concurrence criterion to investigate absolutely maximally entangled states (2501.15477v1)

Abstract: We propose a straightforward method to determine the maximal entanglement of pure states using the criterion of maximal I-concurrence, a measure of entanglement. The square of concurrence for a bipartition $X|X^\prime$ of a pure state is defined as $E^2_{X| X ^\prime}=2[1-tr({\rho_X}^2)]$. From this, we can infer that the concurrence $E_{X| X ^\prime}$ reaches its maximum when $tr({\rho_X}^2)$ is minimized. Using this approach, we identify numerous Absolutely Maximally Entangled (AME) pure states that exhibit maximal entanglement across all possible bipartitions. Conditions are derived for pure states to achieve maximal mixedness in all bipartitions, revealing that any pure state with an odd number of subsystem coefficients does not meet the AME criterion. Furthermore, we obtain equal maximal multipartite entangled pure states across all bipartitions using our maximal concurrence criterion.
