Several families of entanglement criteria for multipartite quantum systems based on generalized Wigner-Yanase skew information and variance

Abstract

Quantum entanglement plays a critical role in many quantum applications, but detecting entanglement, especially in multipartite or high-dimensional quantum systems, remains a challenge. In this paper, we propose several families of entanglement criteria for detecting entanglement in multipartite or high-dimensional quantum states by the generalized Wigner-Yanase skew information $I^s(\rho ,X)$ for $-1\le s\le 0$ and variance. We also reveal a complementary character between the criteria based on the generalized Wigner-Yanase skew information and an alternative one based on variance through specific examples. We illustrate the merits of these criteria and show that the combination of the entanglement criteria has a stronger detection capability, as it is capable of detecting entangled states that remain unrecognized by other criteria.
