Positivity of Partial Transpose and Separability of Dicke state mixtures

Abstract

We study mixtures of permutation symmetric (Dicke) states, with a
special focus on superradiance time evolution. For such systems we
develop necessary separability criteria for general N-qubit systems
based on the condition of Positive Partial Transpose. We also compose
sufficient separability criteria for the specific cases of two and three
qubits. Comparing the criteria we prove that, for Dicke state mixtures,
the PPT test is always sufficient to imply full separability.
