Abstract: We classify four qubit states under SLOCC operations, that is, we classify the orbits of the group mathrmmathopSL(2,mathbbC)4 on the Hilbert space mathcalH4=(mathbbC2)otimes4. We approach the classification by realising this representation as a symmetric space of maximal rank. We first describe general methods for classifying the orbits of such a space. We then apply these methods to obtain the orbits in our special case, resulting in a complete and irredundant classification of mathrmmathopSL(2,mathbbC)4-orbits on mathcalH4. It follows that an element of (mathbbC2)otimes4 is conjugate to an element of precisely 87 classes of elements. Each of these classes either consists of one element or of a parametrised family of elements, and the elements in the same class all have equal stabiliser in mathrmmathopSL(2,mathbbC)4. We also present a complete and irredundant classification of elements and stabilisers up to the action of mSym4ltimesmathrmmathopSL(2,mathbbC)4 where mSym4 permutes the four tensor factors of (mathbbC2)otimes4.
