contents The Computable Cross Norm (CCN), or realignment criterion, is a widely used method for entanglement detection in quantum systems; however, it typically provides only a necessary condition. In this work, we advance the applicability of the realignment criterion by deriving a condition that is both necessary and sufficient for detecting entanglement in two-qubit. $X$-states derive their name from the characteristic 'X' shape of their density matrix, which contains seven independent matrix parameters. Notably, they incorporate several important subclasses of entangled states, including Bell states, Werner states, and maximally entangled mixed states. $X$-states have proven highly useful in entanglement studies due to their sparse structure and the ease with which entanglement-related quantities can be computed. This refined criterion improves the identification of entangled states that the standard CCN approach fails to detect, thereby extending the utility of the method.
