Signals of multiparty entanglement and holography

Abstract We study multiparty entanglement signals, which are functions of a quantum state that are non-zero only when the state has multiparty entanglement. We consider known signals of three- and four-party entanglement, and propose new signals for four- and higher-party entanglement. We make some...

Description
Summary:Abstract We study multiparty entanglement signals, which are functions of a quantum state that are non-zero only when the state has multiparty entanglement. We consider known signals of three- and four-party entanglement, and propose new signals for four- and higher-party entanglement. We make some remarks on their general properties, but mainly focus on using holographic states in AdS3/CFT2 as a test case to explore their properties. For both the AdS vacuum and multiboundary wormhole states, we find that the multiparty entanglement signals are generically non-zero and of order one in units of the central charge of the dual CFT, revealing substantial multiparty entanglement. In the large-horizon limit of multiboundary wormhole states, however, the signals for three or more parties become small, indicating the short-range nature of entanglement.
