• Developed techniques applicable to pure states expressible as low-order polynomials of operator expectation values.
• Extended calculations to include linear entropy of entanglement, linear entanglement of assistance, and entanglement dimension bounds for bipartite systems.

Main Results:

• Successfully computed the linear entropy of entanglement and linear entanglement of assistance for bipartite systems.
• Derived a bound on the dimension of entanglement for bipartite systems.
• Provided a method for obtaining the convex roof of the three-tangle for three-qubit states.
• Demonstrated the calculation of linear entropy of entanglement and quantum Fisher information from partial or device-independent information.

Conclusions:

• The proposed convex roof method offers a powerful and versatile approach to quantifying quantum entanglement.
• The method simplifies the computation of various entanglement measures, including those relevant for multi-qubit systems.
• The demonstrated applications highlight the method's effectiveness and potential for advancing quantum information processing and quantum metrology.
