Abstract

We present conditions every measure of entanglement has to satisfy, and construct a whole class of “good” entanglement measures. The generalization of our class of entanglement measures to more than two particles is straightforward. We present a measure which has a statistical operational basis that might enable experimental determination of the quantitative degree of entanglement.
