Abstract

Entangling properties of a mixed two-qubit system can be described by local homogeneous unitary invariant polynomials in the elements of the density matrix. The structure of the corresponding ring of invariant polynomials for a special subclass of states, the so-called mixed X-states, is established. It is shown that for the X-states there is an injective ring homomorphism of the quotient ring of SU(2)×SU(2)-invariant polynomials modulo its syzygy ideal to the SO(2) × SO(2)-invariant ring freely generated by five homogeneous polynomials of degrees 1, 1, 1, 2, 2.
