Grouping by the first qubit givesThe vectors on both sides form orthonormal bases, so this is a Schmidt decomposition with two nonzero Schmidt coefficients . Hence the state is maximally entangled. Independently, its coefficient matrix has determinantwhich excludes a product state by the two-qubit product-state determinant criterion. Each reduced density matrix is .
