Abstract

Two kinds of Bell-state diagonal (BSD) entanglement witnesses (EWs) are constructed by using the algebra of Dirac $\ensuremath{\gamma}$ matrices in a space-time of arbitrary dimension $d$, where the first kind can detect some BSD relativistic and nonrelativistic $m$-partite multispinor bound entangled states in a Hilbert space of dimension ${2}^{m\ensuremath{\lfloor}d/2\ensuremath{\rfloor}}$, including the bipartite Bell-type and isoconcurrence-type states in four-dimensional space-time $(d=4)$. By using the connection between the Hilbert-Schmidt measure and the optimal EWs associated with the states, it is shown that, as far as the spin quantum correlations are concerned, the amount of entanglement is not a relativistic scalar and has no invariant meaning. The introduced EWs are manipulated via linear programming (LP) and can be solved exactly by using the simplex method. The decomposability or nondecomposability of these EWs is investigated, the region of nondecomposable EWs of the first kind is partially determined and it is shown that, all of the EWs of the second kind are decomposable. These EWs have the property that in bipartite systems they can determine the region of separable states, i.e., bipartite nondetectable density matrices of the same type as the EWs of the first kind are necessarily separable. Also, multispinor EWs with nonpolygon feasible regions are provided, where the problem is solved by approximate LP, and in contrast to the exactly manipulatable EWs, both the first and second kinds of the optimal approximate EWs can detect some bound entangled states.
