Abstract
Abstract This chapter takes a closer look at entanglement in multipartite systems. An examination of pure tripartite systems serves a starting point from which we discover the equivalence classes of Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (GHZ) states and W states. We then continue with the mixed-state case and discuss the notions of full separability, partition-separability and biseparability versus genuine tripartite entanglement, before stating the GHZ theorem in the formulation following Mermin. For systems of three or more parties we then formulate the definitions for k-separability and genuine multipartite entanglement (GME), as well as for k-producibility and entanglement depth, followed by prominent examples for GME states such as the generalized GHZ states and Dicke states. We give an overview of the problem of detecting GME using various linear and non-linear GME witnesses, lifted witnesses, PPT mixers, before discussing challenges for the characterization and quantification of multipartite entanglement. We close by analysing the phenomenon of entangled entanglement.
