Spectral criteria for absolute positive partial transpose (PPT) in qudit-qudit state systems

Separability from the spectrum is an important and ongoing research topic in quantum entanglement. In this study, we investigate properties related to absolute separability from the spectrum in qudit-qudit states in the bipartite state space Hmn=Hm⊗Hn. First, we propose the necessary and sufficient conditions for absolute positive partial transpose states in the Hilbert space H4n. These conditions are equivalent to the positive semidefiniteness of twelve matrices resulting from the symmetric matricizations of eigenvalues. Furthermore, we demonstrate that these sufficient conditions can be extended to the general Hmn case, improving existing conclusions in the literature. These sufficient conditions depend only on the first few leading and last few leading eigenvalues, significantly reducing the complexity of determining absolute separable states. On the other hand, we also introduce additional sufficient conditions for determining that states in Hmn are not absolutely separable. These conditions only depend on 2m − 1 eigenvalues of the mixed states. Our sufficient conditions are not only simple and easy to implement, but also effective in practice. As applications, we derive distance bounds for eigenvalues and purity bounds for general absolutely separable states.
