We study in detail a very natural metric for quantum states. This new proposal has two basic ingredients: entropy and purification. The metric for two mixed states is defined as the square root of the entropy of the average of representative purifications of those states. Some basic properties are analyzed and its relation to other distances is investigated. As an illustrative application, the proposed metric is evaluated for one-qubit mixed states.

We consider random bipartite quantum states obtained by tracing out one subsystem from a random, uniformly distributed, tripartite pure quantum state. We compute thresholds for the dimension of the system being traced out, so that the resulting bipartite quantum state satisfies the reduction criterion in different asymptotic regimes. We consider as well the basis-independent version of the reduction criterion (the absolute reduction criterion), computing thresholds for the corresponding eigenvalue sets. We do the same for other sets relevant in the study of absolute separability, using techniques from random matrix theory. Finally, we gather and compare the known values for the thresholds corresponding to different entanglement criteria, and conclude with a list of open questions.

\Negativity is regarded as an important measure of entanglement in quantum information theory. In contrast to other measures of entanglement, it is easily computable for bipartite states in arbitrary dimensions. In this paper, based on the negativity and realignment, we provide a set of entanglement-sharing constraints for multipartite states, where the entanglement is not necessarily limited to bipartite and pure states, thus aiding in the quantification of constraints for entanglement-sharing. These may find applications in studying many-body systems.

We review Schmidt and Kraus decompositions in the form of singular value decomposition using operations of reshaping, vectorization and reshuffling. We use the introduced notation to analyze the correspondence between quantum states and operations with the help of Jamiołkowski isomorphism. The presented matrix reorderings allow us to obtain simple formulae for the composition of quantum channels and partial operations used in quantum information theory. To provide examples of the discussed operations, we utilize a package for the Mathematica computing system implementing basic functions used in the calculations related to quantum information theory.

It is a well–known fact that a quantum state |ψ(θ, ϕ)〉 is represented by a point on the Bloch sphere, characterized by two parameters θ and ϕ. Here in this work, we find out another impossible operation in quantum information theory. We name this impossibility as 'Impossibility of partial swapping of quantum information'. By this we mean that if two unknown quantum states are given at the input port, there exists no physical process, consistent with the principles of quantum mechanics, by which we can partially swap either of the two parameters θ and ϕ between these two quantum states. In this work, we provided the impossibility proofs for the qubits (i.e. the quantum states taken from two-dimensional Hilbert space) and this impossible operation can be shown to hold in higher dimensions also.

The notion of distance in Hilbert space is relevant in many scenarios. In particular, "distances" between quantum states play a central role in quantum information theory. An appropriate measure of distance is the quantum Jensen Shannon divergence (QJSD) between quantum states. Here we study this distance as a geometrical measure of entanglement and apply it to different families of states.

The field of optimization science is proliferating that has made complex real-world problems easy to solve. Metaheuristics based algorithms inspired by nature or physical phenomena based methods have made its way in providing near-ideal (optimal) solutions to several complex real-world problems. Ant lion Optimization (ALO) has inspired by the hunting behavior of antlions for searching for food. Even with a unique idea, it has some limitations like a slower rate of convergence and sometimes confines itself into local solutions (optima). Therefore, to enhance its performance of classical ALO, quantum information theory is hybridized with classical ALO and named as QALO or quantum theory based ALO. It can escape from the limitations of basic ALO and also produces stability between processes of explorations followed by exploitation. CEC2017 benchmark set is adopted to estimate the performance of QALO compared with state-of-the-art algorithms. Experimental and statistical results demonstrate that the proposed method is superior to the original ALO. The proposed QALO extends further to solve the model order reduction (MOR) problem. The QALO based MOR method performs preferably better than other compared techniques. The results from the simulation study illustrate that the proposed method effectively utilized for global optimization and model order reduction.
