Entanglement Classification of extended Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger-Symmetric States

In this paper we analyze entanglement classification of extended Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger-symmetric states ${\rho }^{ES}$, which is parametrized by four real parameters $x$, $y_1$, $y_2$ and $y_3$. The condition for separable states of ${\rho }^{ES}$ is analytically derived. The higher classes such as bi-separable, W, and Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger classes are roughly classified by making use of the class-specific optimal witnesses or map from the extended Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger symmetry to the Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger symmetry. From this analysis we guess that the entanglement classes of ${\rho }^{ES}$ are not dependent on $y_j \hspace{.2cm} (j=1,2,3)$individually,butdependenton$y_1 + y_2 + y_3$ collectively. The difficulty arising in extension of analysis with Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger symmetry to the higher-qubit system is discussed.
