TLDR
A classification of mixed three-qubit states is introduced, in which the classes of separable, biseparable, W, and Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger states are successively embedded into each other.
Abstract
We introduce a classification of mixed three-qubit states, in which we define the classes of separable, biseparable, $W$, and Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger states. These classes are successively embedded into each other. We show that contrary to pure $W$-type states, the mixed $W$ class is not of measure zero. We construct witness operators that detect the class of a mixed state. We discuss the conjecture that all entangled states with positive partial transpose (PPTES) belong to the $W$ class. Finally, we present a new family of PPTES ``edge'' states with maximal ranks.

Geometric measure of entanglement and applications to bipartite and multipartite quantum states

TL;DR: In this article, the degree to which a pure quantum state is entangled can be characterized by the distance or angle to the nearest unentangled state, where the distance is defined as the distance from the point of view of the nearest neighbor.

Preparation and measurement of three-qubit entanglement in a superconducting circuit

TL;DR: Deterministic production of three-qubit Greenberger–Horne–Zeilinger (GHZ) states with fidelity of 88 per cent is demonstrated, demonstrating the first step of basic quantum error correction, namely the encoding of a logical qubit into a manifold of GHZ-like states using a repetition code.

TL;DR: On a theory of the Collapse of the Wave Function, Stapp as discussed by the authors proposed a new characteristic of a quantum system between two measurements -a "Weak Value", which is defined as the difference between two values of the same value.
