X States of the Same Spectrum and Entanglement as All Two-Qubit States.
We present an explicit family of two-qubit X states with entanglement-preserving unitary (EPU) equivalence to the set of general states; that is, for any spectrum-entanglement combination achievable by general states, this family contains an X state of the same spectrum and entanglement. This idea was originally conjectured by the author and supported with strong numerical evidence in arXiv:1310.7038. Then, in Ann. Phys. 351 (2014) 79, the authors proved the existence of such two-qubit unitary transformations, but found the parameters to be transcendental, eluding explicit solution. Here, by a different method, we prove the existence of such transformations, obtain a compact implicit solution for them, and provide an exact, explicit form of the desired X-state family.

Keeping up-to-date with research can feel impossible, with papers being published faster than you'll ever be able to read them. That's where Researcher comes in: we're simplifying discovery and making important discussions happen. With over 19,000 sources, including peer-reviewed journals, preprints, blogs, universities, podcasts and Live events across 10 research areas, you'll never miss what's important to you. It's like social media, but better. Oh, and we should mention - it's free.
Researcher displays publicly available abstracts and doesn’t host any full article content. If the content is open access, we will direct clicks from the abstracts to the publisher website and display the PDF copy on our platform.
