Abstract:
The equivalence problem under local unitary transformation for n-partite pure states is reduced to the one for (n-1)-partite mixed states. In particular, a tripartite system , where is a finite dimensional complex Hilbert space for j=A,B,C, is considered and a set of invariants under local transformations is introduced, which is complete for the set of states whose partial trace with respect to belongs to the class of generic mixed states.
