Rank-based SLOCC classification for odd $n$ qubits

Abstract

We study the entanglement classification under stochastic local operations and classical communication (SLOCC) for odd n-qubit pure states. For this purpose, we introduce the rank with respect to qubit i for an odd n-qubit state. The ranks with respect to qubits 1,2, ... n give rise to the classification of the space of odd $n$ qubits into 3^n families.
