摘要
In this paper we address the problem of detection of entanglement using only few local measurements when some knowledge about the state is given. The idea is based on an optimized decomposition of witness operators into local operators. We discuss two possible ways of optimizing this local decomposition. We present several analytical results and estimates for optimized detection strategies for NPT states of 2 x 2 and N x M systems, entangled states in 3 qubit systems, and bound entangled states in 3 x 3 and 2 x 4 systems.
