Abstract
Genuine multipartite entanglement (GME) represents the strongest form of entanglement in multipartite systems, providing significant advantages in various quantum information processing tasks. In this work, we propose an experimentally feasible scheme for detecting GME, based on the truncated moments of positive maps. Our method avoids the need for full state tomography, making it scalable for larger systems. We provide illustrative examples of both pure and mixed states to demonstrate the efficacy of our formalism in detecting inequivalent classes of tripartite genuine entanglement. We further demonstrate the detection of quadripartite genuine entanglement, underscoring the effectiveness of our method in identifying entanglement beyond the tripartite case. Finally, we present a proposal for realizing these moments in real experiments.
