H.-P. Breuer, "Optimal entanglement criterion for mixed quantum states", Phys. Rev. Lett. 97, 080501 (2006). Bound entangled states for even local dimension d >= 4: PPT for any positive weight lam, yet entangled by Breuer's anti-linear map criterion.

breuer(lam)

Construct a Breuer bound-entangled state on C^4 ⊗ C^4.

Wraps :func:toqito.states.breuer with dim=4, which is the smallest local dimension for which Breuer's construction yields a bound-entangled state (requires even dim >= 4).

The state is a mixture of the maximally mixed state and a partially-transposed singlet component weighted by lam. For any lam > 0 the state is entangled yet PPT, making it bound entangled.

Parameters

lam: Weight of the singlet component. Must satisfy 0 < lam <= 1.

Returns

np.ndarray 16×16 density matrix of the Breuer state.
