Abstract

In the context of quantum information, we investigate extensively some important classes of a general form of a two-qubit system under Lorentz transformation. It is shown Lorentz transformation causes a decay of entanglement and consequently information loses. On the other hand, it generates entangled states between systems prepared initially in a separable states. The partial entangled states are more robust under Lorentz transformation than maximally entangled states. Therefore the rate of information lose is larger for maximum entangled states compared with that for partially entangled states.

Transformation properties and entanglement of relativistic qubits under space-time and gauge transformations

Xavier Calmet A, Jacob Dunningham

We revisit the properties of qubits under Lorentz transformations and, by considering Lorentz-invariant quantum states in the Heisenberg formulation, clarify some misleading notation that has appeared in the literature on relativistic quantum information theory. We then use this formulation to consider the transformation properties of qubits and density matrices under space-time and gauge transformations. Finally, we use our results to understand the behavior of entanglement between different partitions of quantum systems. Our approach not only clarifies the notation but provides a more intuitive and simple way of gaining insight into the behavior of relativistic qubits. In particular, it allows us to greatly generalize the results in the current literature, as well as substantially simplifying the calculations that are needed.

Robustness of the Entangled States $2 \times N \times M$ Against Qubit Loss

S. M. Zangia, Junli Li, Cong-Feng Qiaoa

A quantum system may suffer from local noises in experiment, and be disturbed partially or completely. In practice, sometimes the multipartite quantum system lose some parts due to local noises, and in this case it is interesting to know whether the residual system still carry information or not. Robust quantum states have the ability to carry on information after the loss of some partites. In this paper, we study $2 \times N \times M$ class of quantum states and identify all robust and fragile states with respect to loss of qubit. We also show the robustness of the $2 \times N \times M$ robust quantum system after the loss of qubit.

Quantum entanglement under Lorentz boost

Daeho Lee, Ee Chang-Young

To understand the characteristics of quantum entanglement of massive particles under Lorentz boost, we first introduce a relevant relativistic spin observable, and evaluate its expectation values for the Bell states under Lorentz boost. Then we show that maximal violation of the Bell's inequality can be achieved by properly adjusting the directions of the spin measurement even in a relativistically moving inertial frame. Based on this we infer that the entanglement information is preserved under Lorentz boost as a form of correlation information determined by the transformation characteristic of the Bell state in use.

Single and double changes of entanglement

NASSER METWALLY

The entanglement behavior for different classes of two-qubit systems passing through a generalized amplitude damping channel is discussed. The phenomena of sudden single and double changes and the sudden death of entanglement are reported for identical and nonidentical noise. It is shown that, for less entangled states, these phenomena appear for small values of channel strength. The effect of the channel can be frozen for these classes as one increases the channel strength. Maximum entangled states are more fragile than partial entangled states, where the entanglement decays very fast. However, one cannot freeze the effect of the noise channel for systems initially prepared in maximum entangled states. The decay rate of entanglement for systems affected by nonidentical noise is much larger than that affected by identical noise.

Tripartite Entanglement and Lorentz Transformation

Firouz Amiri, Shahpoor Moradi

Entanglement of tripartite spin states under Lorentz transformations is studied in the context of Bell’s inequality and positive partial transpose criterion. First the relativistic analogue of Bell’s inequality is discussed for three qubit states by explicit calculation of the Wigner rotation. We use the relativistic invariant spin operator which is related to the Pauli-Lubanski pseudo vector. For observers at rest the Bell’s inequality is speed-independent and maximally violated. For moving observers it’s shown that Bell’s inequality is violated and the amount of violation depends on the boost speed. We show that in ultrarelativistic limit Bell’s inequality is still maximally violated. We also obtained the critical value for satisfying Bell’s inequality. The critical value of boost speed for violation of inequality for particles moving in the center of mass frame is greater than that for particles moving with the same momentum. Second we investigate the entanglement distillability of tripartite mixed spin states under Lorentz transformations in the context of Werner states. We show that there are states that will change from distillable (entangled) into separable for a certain value of rapidity.

Lorentz transformations for massive two-particle systems: entanglement change and invariant subspaces

Esteban Castro-Ruiz, Eduardo Nahmad-Achar

Lorentz boosts applied to particles with spin and momentum degrees of freedom induce momentum-dependent rotations. As, in general, different particles have different momenta, the transformation of the whole state is not a representation of the rotation group. Here we identify the group that acts on a two-particle system and, for the case where the momenta of the particles are correlated, find invariant subspaces that have interesting properties for quantum information processes in relativistic scenarios. A basis of states for the study of transformations of spin states under Lorentz boosts is proposed, which is a good candidate for use in building quantum communication protocols in relativistic scenarios.
