Characterizing entanglement is an important issue in quantum information, as entanglement is considered to be a resource for quantum key distribution or quantum metrology. One useful tool to detect and quantify entanglement are witness operators. A standard way to design entanglement witnesses for two or more particles is based on the fidelity of a pure quantum state; in mathematical terms this construction relies on the Schmidt decomposition of vectors. In this contribution, we present a method to build entanglement witnesses based on the Schmidt decomposition of operators. Our scheme works for the bipartite and the multipartite case and is found to be strictly stronger than the concept of fidelity-based witnesses. We discuss various examples and demonstrate that our approach can also be used to quantify quantum correlations as well as characterize the dimensionality of entanglement.
