Abstract

Abstract A measure of entanglement production by quantum operations is suggested. This measure is general, being valid for operations over pure states as well as over mixed states, for equilibrium as well as for nonequilibrium processes. The measure of entanglement production satisfies all properties typical of such a characteristic. Systems of arbitrary nature can be treated, described by field operators, spin operators, or any other operators, which is realized by defining generalized correlation matrices. Particular cases of entanglement production are considered.

Quantifying entanglement production of quantum operations

Vyacheslav I. Yukalov

The problem of entanglement produced by an arbitrary operator is formulated and a related measure of entanglement production is introduced. This measure of entanglement production satisfies all properties natural for such a characteristic. A particular case is the entanglement produced by a density operator or a density matrix. The suggested measure is valid for operations over pure states as well as over mixed states, for equilibrium as well as nonequilibrium processes. Systems of arbitrary nature can be treated, described by field operators, spin operators, or any other kind of operator that is realized by constructing generalized density matrices. The interplay between entanglement production and phase transitions in statistical systems is analyzed using the examples of Bose-Einstein condensation, the superconducting transition, and magnetic transitions. The relation between the measure of entanglement production and order indices is analyzed.

Entanglement Measure for Composite Systems

Vyacheslav I. Yukalov

A general description of entanglement is suggested as an action realized by an arbitrary operator over given disentangled states. The related entanglement measure is defined. Because of its generality, this definition can be employed for any physical systems, pure or mixed, equilibrium or nonequilibrium, and characterized by any type of operators, whether these are statistical operators, field operators, spin operators, or anything else. Entanglement of any number of parts from their total ensemble forming a multiparticle composite system can be determined. Interplay between entanglement and ordering, occurring under phase transitions, is analyzed by invoking the concept of operator order indices.

Entanglement production by statistical operators

Vyacheslav I. Yukalov, Elizaveta P. Yukalova, V A Yurovsky

Abstract In the problem of entanglement there exist two different notions. One is the entanglement of a quantum state, characterizing the state structure. The other is entanglement production by quantum operators, describing the action of operators in the given Hilbert space. Entanglement production by statistical operators, or density operators, is an important notion arising in quantum measurements and quantum information processing. The operational meaning of the entangling power of any operator, including statistical operators, is the property of the operators to entangle wave functions of the Hilbert space they are defined on. The measure of entanglement production by statistical operators is described and illustrated by entangled quantum states, equilibrium Gibbs states, as well as by the state of a complex multiparticle spinor system. It is shown that this measure is in intimate relation to other notions of quantum information theory, such as the purity of quantum states, linear entropy, or impurity, inverse participation ratio, quadratic Rényi entropy, the correlation function of composite measurements, and decoherence phenomenon. This measure can be introduced for a set of statistical operators characterizing a system after quantum measurements. The explicit value of the measure depends on the type of the Hilbert space partitioning. For a general multiparticle spinor system, it is possible to accomplish the particle-particle partitioning or spin-spatial partitioning. Conditions are defined showing when entanglement production is maximal and when it is zero. The study on entanglement production by statistical operators is important because, depending on whether such an operator is entangling or not, it generates qualitatively different probability measures, which is principal for quantum measurements and quantum information processing.

EVOLUTIONAL ENTANGLEMENT IN NONEQUILIBRIUM PROCESSES

Vyacheslav I. Yukalov

Entanglement in nonequilibrium systems is considered. A general definition for entanglement measure is introduced, which can be applied for characterizing the level of entanglement produced by arbitrary operators. Applying this definition to reduced density matrices makes it possible to measure the entanglement in nonequilibrium as well as in equilibrium statistical systems. An example of a multimode Bose–Einstein condensate is discussed.

Quantification of Multi-Particle Entanglement

Jens Eisert, H. J. Briegel

We present a measure of quantum entanglement which is capable of quantifying the degree of entanglement of a multi-partite quantum system. This measure, which is based on a generalization of the Schmidt rank of a pure state, is defined on the full state space and is shown to be an entanglement monotone, that is, it cannot increase under local quantum operations with classical communication and under mixing. For a large class of mixed states this measure of entanglement can be calculated exactly, and it provides a detailed classification of mixed states. We also present a connection to the best separable approximation of an entangled state of a two-qubit system.
