Bipartite-mixed-states of infinite-dimensional systems are generically nonseparable
Research output: Contribution to journal › Journal article › Research › peer-review
Given a bipartite quantum system represented by a Hilbert space H1⊗H2, we give an elementary argument to show that if either dim H1 = ∞ or dim H2 = ∞, then the set of nonseparable density operators on H1⊗H2 is trace-norm dense in the set of all density operators (and the separable density operators nowhere dense). This result complements recent detailed investigations of separability, which show that when dim Hi<∝ for i = 1,2, there is a separable neighborhood (perhaps very small for large dimensions) of the maximally mixed state.
