Abstract or Description

Any two-qubit state can be represented geometrically by a steering ellipsoid inside the Blochsphere. We extend this approach to represent any block positive two-qubit operator B. We derive a classification scheme based on the positivity of detBand de t B T B; this shows that any ellipsoid inside the Bloch sphere must represent either a two-qubit state or a two-qubit entanglement witness. We focus on such witnesses and their corresponding ellipsoids, finding that properties such as witness optimality are naturally manifest in this geometric representation
