% mrealign Generalized realignment of a multipartite operator
% mrealign(M,list) realigns matrix M (that can be a density matrix)
% in a multipartite system where the qudits have dimension 2.
% mrealign(M,list,d) makes it possible to have qudits
% for d>2.
% Example for 2 qubits:
% mrealign(M,[4 3 2 1]) - Noting changes
% mrealign(M,[2 3 4 1]) - Partial transpose
% mrealign(M,[4 2 3 1]) - Realignment
function rhoR=mrealign(rho,list,varargin)
% rho is should not be normalized
% thus we do not use: "rho=ketbra2(rho);"
if isempty(varargin),
d=2;
else
if length(varargin)~=1,
error('Wrong number of input arguments.');
end %if
d=varargin{1};
end %if
[sx,sy]=size(rho);
N=floor(log(sx)/log(d)+0.5);
% Create a multidimensional matrix
r2=reshape(rho,kron(d,ones(1,2*N)));
% Permute the indices
% Nothing happens corresponds to [2N 2N-1 .... 3 2 1]
