Using the concept of effective entanglement and the verification thereof, a testing procedure is derived which demands very few experimental resources. The procedure is generalized by allowing for mixed test states. By constructing optimized measure & re-prepare channels, the benchmarks are found to be very tight in the considered experimental regimes.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2009-10-09T07:24:44.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "03.67.Hk", "03.67.Mn", "42.50.Xa" ], "keywords": [ "mixed states", "quantumness", "verification thereof", "experimental regimes", "re-prepare channels" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Physical Review A", "year": 2009, "month": "Oct", "volume": 80, "number": 4, "pages": "042304" }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 11, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2009PhRvA..80d2304H" } } }
