Abstract
We investigate the extent to which two particles can be maximally entangled when they are also similarly entangled with other particles on a complete graph, focusing on Werner, isotropic, and Brauer states. To address this, we formulate and solve optimization problems that draw on concepts from many-body physics, computational complexity, and quantum cryptography. We approach the problem by formalizing it as a semi-definite program (SDP), which we solve analytically using tools from representation theory. Notably, we determine the exact maximum values for the projection onto the maximally entangled state and the antisymmetric Werner state, thereby resolving long-standing open problems in the field of quantum extendibility. Our results are achieved by leveraging SDP duality, the representation theory of symmetric, unitary and orthogonal groups, and the Brauer algebra.
