Abstract

The unextendible entangled basis with any arbitrarily given Schmidt number k (UEBk) in \({\mathbb {C}}^{d_1}\otimes {\mathbb {C}}^{d_2}\) is proposed in Guo and Wu (Phys Rev A 90:054303, 2014), \(1<k\le \min \{d_1,d_2\}\), which is a set of orthonormal entangled states with Schmidt number k in a \(d_1\otimes d_2\) system consisting of fewer than \(d_1d_2\) vectors which have no additional entangled vectors with Schmidt number k in the complementary space. In this paper, we extend it to multipartite case, and a general way of constructing \((m+1)\)-partite UEBk from m-partite UEBk is proposed (\(m\ge 2\)). Consequently, we show that there are infinitely many UEBks in \({\mathbb {C}}^{d_1}\otimes {\mathbb {C}}^{d_2}\otimes \cdots \otimes {\mathbb {C}}^{d_N}\) with any dimensions and any \(N\ge 3\).
