Indian researchers from TIFR and IISER Kolkata introduced a new framework for quantifying multipartite entanglement using local unitary invariants, published in March 2026. Their work provides computable measures to assess entanglement transformation probabilities under local operations. The team constructed a family of entanglement monotones—quantities that never increase under local quantum operations and classical communication—using invariant polynomials of pure states and their conjugates. This simplifies calculations for pure multipartite systems. These monotones directly bound the success probability of converting one quantum state into another via local measurements, addressing a long-standing challenge in quantum information theory. The approach bridges theory and practical computation. The research was funded by India’s Department of Atomic Energy and Department of Science and Technology, highlighting national investment in foundational quantum science. Collaborators included Abhijit Gadde, Shraiyance Jain, and Harshal Kulkarni. The findings offer a scalable method to analyze entanglement in complex systems, potentially advancing quantum communication protocols and error correction. The work emphasizes polynomial-based invariants for efficiency.

This probability is bounded by quantifying entanglement in both the states. In this paper, we construct a family of local unitary invariants of multipartite states that are monotonic under local operations and classical communication on average. These monotones are constructed from local unitary invariant polynomials of the state and its conjugate, and hence are easy to compute for pure states. Using these measures we bound the success probability of transforming a given state into another state using local quantum operations and classical communication. × TY - JOURPB - SciPost FoundationDO - 10.21468/SciPostPhys.20.3.086TI - Multi-partite entanglement monotonesPY - 2026/03/18UR - https://scipost.org/SciPostPhys.20.3.086JF - SciPost PhysicsJA - SciPost Phys.VL - 20IS - 3SP - 086A1 - Gadde, AbhijitAU - Jain, ShraiyanceAU - Kulkarni, HarshalAB - If we want to transform the quantum state of a system to another using local measurement processes, what is the probability of success?
