| contents | We show numerical evidence for a bipartite $d\times d$ pure state entanglement witness that is readily calculated from the wavefunction coefficients directly, without the need for the numerical computation of eigenvalues. This is accomplished by using an approximate analytic diagonalization of the bipartite state that captures dominant contributions to the negativity of the partially transposed state. We relate this entanglement witness to the Log Negativity, and show that it exactly agrees with it for the class of pure states whose quantum amplitudes form a positive Hermitian matrix. In this case, the Log Negativity is given by the negative logarithm of the purity of the amplitudes consider as a density matrix. In other cases, the witness forms a lower bound to the exact, numerically computed Log Negativity. The formula for the approximate Log Negativity achieves equality with the exact Log Negativity for the case of an arbitrary pure state of two qubits, which we show analytically. We compare these results to a witness of entanglement given by the linear entropy. Finally, we explore an attempt to extend these pure state results to mixed states. We show that the Log Negativity for this approximate formula is exact on the class of pure state decompositions for which the quantum amplitudes of each pure state form a positive Hermitian matrix. |
