Abstract

We give a compact review of some of our recent results on the quantification, the measurement, and the time evolution of entanglement in open quantum systems of variable structure and dimension.Also a first experimental implementation is briefly discussed.

Measures and dynamics of entanglement

Andreas Buchleitner

Quantum information technology largely relies on a precious and fragile resource, quantum entanglement, a highly nontrivial manifestation of the coherent superposition of states of composite quantum systems. However, our knowledge on the time evolution of this resource under realistic conditions, when corrupted by environment-induced decoherence, is hitherto rather limited, and general statements on entanglement dynamics in open systems are scarce. The lecture will start from a short recollection of the basic elements of entanglement theory for finite dimensional composite mixed quantum states, spell out the central difficulties for the formulation of a general theory, and then address various aspects of open system entanglement dynamics in variable dimensions. Also the issue of direct experimental probing of the entanglement inscribed into an unknown mixed quantum state will be briefly discussed.

Measures of entanglement in quantum mechanics

Geir Ove Myhr

I give an overview of some of the most used measures of entanglement. To make the presentation self-contained, a number of concepts from quantum information theory are first explained. Then the structure of bipartite entanglement is studied qualitatively, before a number of bipartite entanglement measures are described, both for pure and mixed states. Results from the study of multipartite systems and continuous variable systems are briefly discussed.

Optimal Dynamical Characterization of Entanglement

Andre R. R. Carvalho, Marc Busse, Olivier Brodier +2 more

We show that, for experimentally relevant systems, there is an optimal measurement strategy to monitor the time evolution of entanglement under open system dynamics. This suggests an efficient, dynamical characterization of the entanglement of composite, open quantum systems.

Separation of variables for higher rank integrable models: review of recent progress

Fedor Levkovich-Maslyuk

Abstract Separation of variables (SoVs) is a powerful method expected to be applicable for a wide range of quantum integrable systems, from models in condensed matter physics to gauge and string theories. Yet its full implementation for many higher rank examples, such as SU(N) spin chains with N > 2, has remained elusive for a long time. In this pedagogical review we discuss the major progress achieved recently in understanding SoV for models of this type. In particular, for rational SU(N) spin chains we describe different constructions of the SoV basis, novel compact forms for spin chain eigenstates, the functional SoV approach, and explicit computation of the SoV measure. We also discuss key first applications of these results, namely the new compact determinant representations for many observables such as scalar products and correlators.
