The Multiqubit Elegant Joint Measurement

Jef Pauwels, Nicolas Gisin

2/9/25 Published in : arXiv:2509.01852

The Elegant Joint Measurement (EJM) is a highly symmetric, partially entangled two-qubit measurement whose local marginals form a regular tetrahedron on the Bloch sphere and which has a low entanglement cost for local implementation. It plays a central role in quantum networks exhibiting nonclassical correlations and serves as a paradigmatic example of an entangled measurement with local structure. Despite its significance, generalizing the EJM beyond two qubits has remained unresolved. Here, we extend the EJM to the multipartite setting by identifying all tetrahedrally symmetric, efficiently localizable multiqubit bases. For two qubits, these criteria uniquely select the EJM. For three or more, they yield a discrete set of equivalence classes, reflecting the richer structure of multiparticle entanglement.
