Abstract: Hypergraph states are multi-qubit states that form a subset of the locally maximally entangleable states and a generalization of the well--established notion of graph states. Mathematically, they can conveniently be described by a hypergraph that indicates a possible generation procedure of these states; alternatively, they can also be phrased in terms of a non-local stabilizer formalism. In this paper, we explore the entanglement properties and nonclassical features of hypergraph states. First, we identify the equivalence classes under local unitary transformations for up to four qubits, as well as important classes of five- and six-qubit states, and determine various entanglement properties of these classes. Second, we present general conditions under which the local unitary equivalence of hypergraph states can simply be decided by considering a finite set of transformations with a clear graph-theoretical interpretation. Finally, we consider the question whether hypergraph states and their correlations can be used to reveal contradictions with classical hidden variable theories. We demonstrate that various noncontextuality inequalities and Bell inequalities can be derived for hypergraph states.

Review text

The paper deals with entanglement properties and nonclassical features of hypergraph states. A hypergraph allows that an edge is connected to any number of vertices, so there are also edges with three, four, or more vertices. Hypergraph states are multi-qubit states that form a subset of the locally maximally entangleable states. The entangleable states can be described elegantly and in a compact form by a hypergraph that indicates a possible generation procedure of these states. Two states that are connected with a local unitary transformation are called locally equivalent. The local unitary equivalence classes up to four-qubits are described, as well as important classes of five- and six-qubit states with their entanglement properties. It is shown that the properties of the hypergraph remain invariant under local Pauli operators, so they can be used to distinguish equivalence classes. Finally it is shown that the stabilizer formalism of hypergraph states that exploits the Pauli operators can be used to derive various inequalities for testing the Kochen-Specker theorem or Bell's theorem.
