Measurement-device-independent quantification of irreducible high-dimensional entanglement
npj Quantum Information(2020)
Abstract
The certification of entanglement dimensionality is of great importance in characterizing quantum systems. Recently, it was pointed out that quantum correlation of high-dimensional states can be simulated with a sequence of lower-dimensional states. Such a problem may render existing characterization protocols unreliable—the observed entanglement may not be a truly high-dimensional one. Here, we introduce the notion of irreducible entanglement to capture its dimensionality that is indecomposable in terms of a sequence of lower-dimensional entangled systems. We prove this new feature can be detected in a measurement-device-independent manner with an entanglement witness protocol. To demonstrate the practicability of this technique, we experimentally apply it on a 3-dimensional bipartite state, and the result certifies the existence of irreducible (at least) 3-dimensional entanglement.
