For real −1≤α≤1, this two-qubit density operator has equal 00 and 11 populations and off-diagonal coherences α/2. It is a pure state exactly when α=±1, and a separable quantum state exactly when α=0. Its partial transpose has eigenvalues 1/2,1/2,α/2,−α/2, directly witnessing entanglement for every nonzero admissible coherence.
