 | | Using Lie theory, we generalize this to an n-qubit decomposition, the concurrence canonical decomposition (CCD) SU(2{sup n})=KAK. |
 | | The group K fixes a bilinear form related to the concurrence, and in particular any unitary in K preserves the tangle vertical bar <{phi} vertical bar (-i{sigma}{sub 1}{sup y}){center_dot}{center_dot}{center_dot}(-i{sigma}{sub n}{sup y}) vertical bar {phi}> vertical bar{sup 2} for n even. |
 | | Thus, the CCD shows that any n-qubit unitary is a composition of a unitary operator preserving this n-tangle, a unitary operator in A which applies relative phases to a set of GHZ states, and a second unitary operator which preserves the tangle. |
