Abstract
We derive expressions for the invariant length element and measure for the
simple compact Lie group SU(4) in a coordinate system particularly suitable for treating
entanglement in quantum information processing. Using this metric, we compute the
invariant volume of the space of two-qubit perfect entanglers. We find that this volume
corresponds to more than 84% of the total invariant volume of the space of two-qubit gates.
This same metric is also used to determine the effective target sizes that selected gates will
present in any quantum-control procedure designed to implement them.
