Description
In this paper, we prove a stronger entanglement monogamy inequality in a 2x2x3 system's pure state |Ψ)ABC. Specifically, we show that the linear entropy of ρA, which is the entanglement between A and BC, is always larger than the sum of the square of concurrence between A and B and the square of concurrence of assistance between A and C. Our proof is based on direct generalizations of the qubit system's results. Our inequality is stronger than the known monogamy inequality of concurrence and shows that the entanglement of assistance always comes from the existing entanglement. However, our inequality also shows that unlike the three-qubit case, in higher dimensional systems the entanglement between A and BC cannot be completely transformed into bipartite entanglement with assistance. Through our proof, we also give some cases when the inequality reduces to an equality.
