Entanglement of Purification for Multipartite States and its Holographic Dual

Umemoto, Koji, Zhou, Yang

Understand

We introduce a new information-theoretic measure of multipartite quantum/classical correlations $\Delta_P$, by generalizing the entanglement of purification to multipartite states.

  • We provide proofs of its various properties, focusing on several entropic inequalities, in generic quantum systems.
  • In particular, it turns out that the multipartite entanglement of purification gives an upper bound on multipartite mutual information, which is a generalization of quantum mutual information in the spirit of relative entropy.
  • After that, motivated by a tensor network description of the AdS/CFT correspondence, we also define a holographic dual of multipartite entanglement of purification $\Delta_W$, as a sum of minimal areas of codimension-2 surfaces which divide the entanglement wedge into multi-pieces.
