Paradigm of entanglement: the two-qubit system
Bohm, two spin-1/2 particles: 1952
Lee and Yang, intrinsic parity Phys. Rev. 104, 822 (1956)
4
Multipartite state up to 2nd order correlation: 4 X 4 matrix (15
parameters)
General multipartite state
5
In matrix form
6
Separability
7
Reduction to seven parameters and the X-from
Transposition and Peres-Horodecki criterion
8
Additional symmetries related to the eigenvalues of the transposed matrix
The eigenvalues of the TM can be obtained from
the original state by choosing six among different local reflections
9
Introducing new parameters
Eigenvalues of the original matrix

Do the same with the transposed or locally reflected matrix
According to PHC if both ‘distances’ of the locally reflectedmatrix are positive the state is separableotherwise it is entangled
Define ‘phase spaces’: X
X = 0 define conic surfaces
= 0 and
11
Phase space can be divided in two regions, one for the entangled-like states and the other for the separable-like Systems having the X-form are met in the literarature,

Conclusions
1. Matrix form symmetries imply physical symmetries when expressed in terms of meaningful physical quantities.
2. Defining new parameters, a phase space and distances, the PHC acquires a geometrical meaning: one can follow the trajectories of states and to discern graphically between entangled and separable states.
3. The negative of squared distance (the distance negativity) can be used as a measure of entanglement, which is comparable to other measures.
