Three unit spheres were used to represent the two-qubit pure states. The three spheres are named the base sphere, entanglement sphere, and fiber sphere. The base sphere and entanglement sphere represent the reduced density matrix of the base qubit and the non-local entanglement measure, concurrence, while the fiber sphere represents the fiber qubit via a simple rotation under a local single-qubit unitary operation; however, in an entangled bipartite state, the fiber sphere has no information on the reduced density matrix of the fiber qubit. When the bipartite state becomes separable, the base and fiber spheres seamlessly become the single-qubit Bloch spheres of each qubit. Since either qubit can be chosen as the base qubit, two alternative sets of these three spheres are available, where each set fully represents the bipartite pure state, and each set has information of the reduced density matrix of its base qubit. Comparing this model to the two Bloch balls representing the reduced density matrices of the two qubits, each Bloch ball corresponds to two unit spheres in our model, namely, the base and entanglement spheres. The concurrence–coherence complementarity is explicitly shown on the entanglement sphere via a single angle.

In this paper, entanglement classification shared among the spins of localized fermions in the noninteracting Fermi gas is studied. It is proven that the Fermi gas density matrix is block diagonal on the basis of the projection operators to the irreducible representations of symmetric group [Formula: see text]. Every block of density matrix is in the form of the direct product of a matrix and identity matrix. Then it is useful to study entanglement in every block of density matrix separately. The basis of corresponding Hilbert space are identified from the Schur–Weyl duality theorem. Also, it can be shown that the symmetric part of the density matrix is fully separable. Then it has been shown that the entanglement measure which is introduced in Eltschka et al. [New J. Phys. 10, 043104 (2008)] and Guhne et al. [New J. Phys. 7, 229 (2005)], is zero for the even [Formula: see text] qubit Fermi gas density matrix. Then by focusing on three spin reduced density matrix, the entanglement classes have been investigated. In three qubit states there is an entanglement measure which is called 3-tangle. It can be shown that 3-tangle is zero for three qubit density matrix, but the density matrix is not biseparable for all possible values of its parameters and its eigenvectors are in the form of W-states. Then an entanglement witness for detecting non-separable state and an entanglement witness for detecting nonbiseparable states, have been introduced for three qubit density matrix by using convex optimization problem. Finally, the four spin reduced density matrix has been investigated by restricting the density matrix to the irreducible representations of [Formula: see text]. The restricted density matrix to the subspaces of the irreducible representations: [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] are denoted by [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], respectively. It has been shown that some highly entangled classes (by using the results of Miyake [Phys. Rev. A 67, 012108 (2003)] for entanglement classification) do not exist in the blocks of density matrix [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], so these classes do not exist in the total Fermi gas density matrix.

Measurement-induced nonlocality is a measure of nonlocalty introduced by Luo and Fu [Phys. Rev. Lett \textbf{106}, 120401 (2011)]. In this paper, we study the problem of evaluation of Measurement-induced nonlocality (MIN) for an arbitrary $m\times n$ dimensional bipartite density matrix $\rho$ for the case where one of its reduced density matrix, $\rho^{a}$, is degenerate (the nondegenerate case was explained in the preceding reference). Suppose that, in general, $\rho^{a}$ has $d$ degenerate subspaces with dimension $m_{i} (m_{i} \leq m , i=1, 2, ..., d)$. We show that according to the degeneracy of $\rho^{a}$, if we expand $\rho$ in a suitable basis, the evaluation of MIN for an $m\times n$ dimensional state $\rho$, is degraded to finding the MIN in the $m_{i}\times n$ dimensional subspaces of state $\rho$. This method can reduce the calculations in the evaluation of MIN. Moreover, for an arbitrary $m\times n$ state $\rho$ for which $m_{i}\leq 2$, our method leads to the exact value of the MIN. Also, we obtain an upper bound for MIN which can improve the ones introduced in the above mentioned reference. Finally, we explain the evaluation of MIN for $3\times n$ dimensional states in details.
