 Solution

The coefficient matrix in the computational orthonormal bases, with Alice's index labelling rows, isSince the entries are real, the reduced density matrices areBoth have trace one and determinant $1/9$. Their characteristic polynomial is ${\lambda }^2-\lambda +1/9$, so the nonzero eigenvalues areBoth are positive. Thus the Schmidt rank, or the Schmidt number of this pure state, isIf “Schmidt numbers” denotes the individual positive Schmidt coefficients instead, those areTheir squares are ${\lambda }_{\pm }$; giving both the Schmidt rank and the Schmidt coefficients removes this terminology ambiguity. The pure state is entangled because its Schmidt rank exceeds one.
