The RCCN criterion of separability for states in infinite-dimensional quantum systems

Abstract

In this paper, the realignment criterion and the RCCN criterion of separability for states in infinite-dimensional bipartite quantum systems are established. Let $H_A$ and $H_B$ be complex Hilbert spaces with $\dim H_A\otimes H_B=+\infty$. Let $ρ$ be a state on $H_A\otimes H_B$ and $\{δ_k\}$ be the Schmidt coefficients of $ρ$ as a vector in the Hilbert space ${\mathcal C}_2(H_A)\otimes{\mathcal C}_2(H_B)$. We introduce the realignment operation $ρ^R$ and the computable cross norm $\|ρ\|_{\rm CCN}$ of $ρ$ and show that, if $ρ$ is separable, then $\|ρ^{R}\|_{\rm Tr}=\|ρ\|_{\rm CCN}=\sum\limits_kδ_k\leq1.$ In particular, if $ρ$ is a pure state, then $ρ$ is separable if and only if $\|ρ^{R}\|_{\rm Tr}=\|ρ\|_{\rm CCN}=\sum\limits_kδ_k=1$.
