Abstract
Geometric relations between separable and entangled two-qubit and two-qutrit quantum information states are studied. For two qubit states a relation between reduced density matrix and the concurrence allows us to characterize entanglement by double area of a parallelogram, expressed by determinant of the complex Hermitian inner product metric. We find similar relation in the case of generic two-qutrit state, where the concurrence is expressed by sum of all $$2 \times 2$$ minors of $$3\times 3$$ complex matrix. We show that for maximally entangled two-retrit state this relation is just De Gua’s theorem or a three-dimensional analog of the Pythagorean theorem for triorthogonal tetrahedron areas. Generalizations of our results for arbitrary two-qudit states are discussed
