ABSTRACT

In quantum information, pure states correspond to tensors. Two states equivalent under local unitary group or local general linear group can be used for the same quantum-information tasks, and it is thus an essential problem to determine whether two tensors are equivalent. In this paper, we determine the two sorts of equivalence for 2-tensors in terms of the Schmidt decomposition and singular value decomposition of matrices. We also extend the equivalence to some 3-tensors, proving that Schmidt decomposition is unachievable for 3-tensors. However, we present a method to express 3-tensors using the logic behind Schmidt decomposition.  Furthermore, we generalized the scenario to higher dimensions and discussed the characteristic behaviors of different groups in tensor transformations.
