TITLE

Practical and Efficient Verification of Entanglement with Incomplete Measurement Settings

ABSTRACT

A measurement setting for quantum state identification, namely tomographically complete measurements, can verify all properties of quantum states; once a state is verified, one can determine its properties, such as entanglement, purity, fidelity, correlation functions, etc. A fraction of the measurement results, yet insufficient to verify a state, may reveal specific properties of a state. In this work, we establish a practical, efficient framework for verifying entangled states when a measurement setting is provided. We construct observables, called entanglement witnesses (EWs), that can distinguish entangled states from separable ones from tomographically incomplete measurements. We show that estimating a few Pauli observables can construct many EWs. We also present a proof-of-principle demonstration of detecting entangled states with photon-polarization qubits. Our results find the maximal usefulness of an incomplete measurement setting for detecting entangled states.
