Abstract

The characterization of entanglement properties in mixed states is important from both a theoretical and a practical point of view. While the estimation of entanglement of bipartite pure states is well established, for mixed states it is a considerably much harder task. The key elements of the mixed-state entanglement theory are given by the exact solutions which sometimes are possible for special states of high symmetry problems. In this paper, we present the exact investigation on the entanglement properties for a five-parameter family of highly symmetric two-qudit mixed states with equal but arbitrary finite local Hilbert space dimension. We achieve this by extensive analysis of various conditions of separability and the entanglement classification with respect to stochastic local operations and classical communication. Furthermore, our results can be used for an arbitrary state by proper application of the proposed twirling operator.
