New Localizable Entanglement

Abstract: In this study, we have addressed an ambiguity in the concept of localizable entanglement (LE) introduced by Verstraete et al in 2004. By doing so, we have proposed and explored a unique form of this entanglement, called new localizable entanglement (NLE). We have shown that NLE is always less than or equal to LE. Additionally, we have demonstrated that for systems with three components, NLE does not differ significantly from LE. However, when the number of components increases to four, there is a possibility of significant differences between the two methods. Furthermore, as the number of components increases further, this difference becomes slightly more pronounced. It appears that the classical correlation, which is the lower bound for LE, is also a lower bound for NLE.
