The quantum entanglement is considered as one of the most important notions of quantum computing. The entanglement is a feature of quantum systems and it is used as a basis for many quantum algorithms and protocols. In this paper we analyze the level of entanglement for the quantum switch, during its work. The level of entanglement during the correct operating may be compared with the situation when a noise is present in the analyzed system. The noise changes the level of quantum entanglement and we utilize this observation to evaluate if the switch works properly. We present the formulae describing the value of entanglement with use of the Concurrence measure and also the value of entropy. Both mentioned values may be utilized to detect the noise during the operating of quantum switch.

Information switching and swapping seem to be fundamental elements of quantum communication protocols. Another crucial issue is the presence of entanglement and its level in inspected quantum systems. In this article, a formal definition of the operation of the swapping local quantum information and its existence proof, together with some elementary properties analysed through the prism of the concept of the entropy, are presented. As an example of the local information swapping usage, we demonstrate a certain realisation of the quantum switch. Entanglement levels, during the work of the switch, are calculated with the Negativity measure and a separability criterion based on the von Neumann entropy, spectral decomposition and Schmidt decomposition. Results of numerical experiments, during which the entanglement levels are estimated for systems under consideration with and without distortions, are presented. The noise is generated by the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction and the intrinsic decoherence is modelled by the Milburn equation. This work contains a switch realisation in a circuit form-built out of elementary quantum gates, and a scheme of the circuit which estimates levels of entanglement during the switch's operating.
The paper is an elaborate comparative assessment of the most relevant entropy-based quantities to be applied in quantifying quantum entanglement in pure, mixed, bipartite, and multipartite quantum systems. The study fills the existing gap in the literature in which most of the previous literature examines individual measures, but a lot of knowledge is lacking on what these measures are regarding their strengths, weaknesses, and the operational usefulness against each other. The study can prove the behaviour of each measure under noise, decoherence, dimensional scaling, and variation of state-type by analysing von Neumann entropy, the Tsallis entropy, entropy of entanglement of formation, concurrence and logarithmic negativity. Numerical studies with pure two-qubit states, Werner states, GHZ states, W states and mixed random states demonstrate specific sensitivity properties and computational limitations which ensure that no single measure can be a universal quantifier. The paper goes on to say that entropy-only measures do not work in mixed regimes because of a dominance in classical correlations. The results have several important implications to quantum communication, quantum simulation, and quantum computing in the NISQ-era, where the choice of measurement has a direct impact on benchmarking, error-correction scheme, and protocol performance based on entanglement. The paper ends with a recommendation of contextual, purpose-based scheme of selecting entanglement measures and suggests a further study on scalable benchmarking, hybrid quantifiers, and operational performance-based entanglement measurements. These observations reinforce the theoretical premise of entanglement studies and enable the advancement of more effective quantum technologies in the field of practice.
The quantum entanglement is an important feature of many protocols in the field of quantum computing. In this paper we evaluate a level of entanglement in short qutrit chains. This evaluation is carried out with use of the computable cross norm and realignment criterion and the concurrence measure. We also present some explicit formulae describing the concurrence measure for exemplary short spin chains. Utilizing the obtained results, we indicate that analysing the level of entanglement allows to detect the noise or deviation in the transfer process, in comparison to the perfect transfer where only operation realizing transfer is present.
Quantum Computers are provisioned as very high performance computers using quantum mechanical aspects for information processing. Quantum Information Theory and Quantum Computing topics are really popular topics in academia aiming the construction of theoretical background of Quantum Computers. The information processing units for Quantum Computers are defined as qubits but for some problems three level (trinary) systems may be applied as well. We call these three level systems as qutrits. The scope of this work is the analysis of well-defined entanglement measures Negativity and Relative Entropy of Entanglement (REE) [1-5] for qubit-qutrit quantum systems. In this manner, for randomly generated 1000 qubit-qutrit and 1000 two qubit states the mentioned measures are calculated and these values are compared. These comparisons are analyzed and for quantum state ordering problem, very interesting results are reported.
Entanglement entropy has become an important theoretical concept in condensed matter physics because it provides a unique tool for characterizing quantum mechanical many-body phases and new kinds of quantum order. However, the experimental measurement of entanglement entropy in a many-body system is widely believed to be unfeasible, owing to the nonlocal character of this quantity. Here, we propose a general method to measure the entanglement entropy. The method is based on a quantum switch (a two-level system) coupled to a composite system consisting of several copies of the original many-body system. The state of the switch controls how different parts of the composite system connect to each other. We show that, by studying the dynamics of the quantum switch only, the Rényi entanglement entropy of the many-body system can be extracted. We propose a possible design of the quantum switch, which can be realized in cold atomic systems. Our work provides a route towards testing the scaling of entanglement in critical systems as well as a method for a direct experimental detection of topological order.
Entanglement is generally accepted as the resource that allows quantum systems to be more efficient in performing classical computation, but the practical utility of entanglement in a variety of quantum information-processing processes is inadequately comprehended. The following paper examines the operational importance, constraints, and trade-offs of entanglement in quantum algorithms, communication protocols, error-correction frameworks and complexity-theoretic settings. Though entanglement (between two or more systems) is a requirement of uniquely quantum behaviours: teleportation, superdense coding, and non-classical correlations, we have found that a larger entanglement does not necessarily improve algorithmic performance. We find through analytical modelling, small-circuit entropy analysis, and comparative analysis of representative use-cases, an optimum entanglement zone, at which performance gains cease to improve with noise, gate infidelity, circuit-depth and hardware decoherence. It has also been found that moderate, noise-resilient entanglement is most useful in algorithmic tasks, structural connectivity is essential in communication tasks, and that quantum error-correction needs highly stable, topology-optimised entangled states rather than maximally entangled states. In addition, resource-theory views indicate conflicts between entanglement entropy, gate cost and classical stimulability thresholds and point to the importance of designing entanglement-efficiently. The paper identifies multiparty entanglement as the bottleneck to scalable quantum advantage, especially with the constraints in NISQ era. Comprehensively, this paper has provided a single analytical framework explaining when, where and how entanglement has real computational benefit. The analysis argues the development of algorithms and hardware in a so-called just-enough entanglement paradigm, to optimise fidelity, limit the effects of noise, and have scalable quantum architectures.
