Master’s project, Department of Physics
•Explored the distinction between non-separable (entangled states) and bell
non-local states and their characterization for mixed quantum states.
•Explored quantum steerable states and their properties.
•Analyzed linear witness and variance-based criteria for detecting steering in highdimensional qubit-qudit systems.
•Constructed a local state model for optimal ensemble and successfully identified steerability.
