Abstract
We construct a large class of quantum dxd states which are positive under partial transposition (so called PPT states). The construction is based on certain direct sum decomposition of the total Hilbert space displaying characteristic circular structure - that is why we call them circulant states. It turns out that partial transposition maps any such decomposition into another one and hence both original density matrix and its partially transposed partner share similar cyclic properties. This class contains many well-known examples of PPT states from the literature and gives rise to a huge family of completely new states.

Constructing optimal entanglement witnesses

TL;DR: In this article, a class of indecomposable entanglement witnesses, called optimal and atomic witnesses, are presented, i.e., they are able to detect the weakest quantum entanglements encoded into states with positive partial transposition.
