Abstract

We investigate the generalized monogamy and polygamy relations N-qubit systems. We give a general upper bound of the αth (0 ≤ α ≤ 2) power of concurrence for N-qubit states. The monogamy relations satisfied by the αth (0 ≤ α ≤ 2) power of concurrence are presented for N-qubit pure states under the partition AB and C1...CN− 2, as well as under the partition ABC1 and C2CN− 2. These inequalities give rise to the restrictions on entanglement distribution and the trade off of entanglement among the subsystems. Similar results are also derived for negativity.
