Indecomposable Exposed Positive Bi-linear Maps Between Two by Two Matrices

icon-email Seung-Hyeok Kye

Abstract

Positive bi-linear maps between matrix algebras play important roles to detect tri-partite entanglement by the duality between bi-linear maps and tri-tensor products. We exhibit indecomposable positive bi-linear maps between $2 \times 2$ matrices which generate extreme rays in the cone of all positive bi-linear maps. In fact, they are exposed, and so detect entanglement of positive partial transpose (PPT) whose volume is nonzero.
