Abstract: The problem of computing geometric measure of quantum entanglement for symmetric pure states can be regarded as the problem of finding the largest unitary symmetric eigenvalue (US-eigenvalue) for symmetric complex tensors, which can be taken as a multilinear optimization problem in complex number field. In this paper, we convert the problem of computing the geometric measure of entanglement for symmetric pure states to a real polynomial optimization problem. Then we use Jacobian semidefinite relaxation method to solve it. Some numerical examples are presented.
