Complementarity and entanglement in bipartite qudit systems

Abstract

We consider complementarity in a bipartite quantum system of arbitrary dimensions. Single-partite and bipartite properties turn out as mutually exclusive quantities. The single-partite properties can be related to a generalized predictability and visibility which compose two complementary realities for themselves. These properties combined become mutually exclusive to the genuine quantum mechanical bipartite correlations of the system which can be quantified with the generalized $I$ concurrence that defines a proper entanglement measure. Consequently, the complementary relation quantifies entanglement in the bipartite system. The concept of complementarity determines entanglement as a property which mutually excludes any single-partite reality. As an application, we provide a proper definition of distinguishability in an $n$-port interferometer.

Quantitative complementarity relations in bipartite systems

Matthias Jakob, János A. Bergou

We introduce a complete set of complementary quantities in bipartite, two-dimensional systems. Complementarity then relates the quantitative entanglement measure concurrence which is a bipartite property to the single-particle quantum properties predictability and visibility, for the most general quantum state of two qubits. Consequently, from an interferometric point of view, the usual wave-particle duality relation must be extended to a ``triality'' relation containing, in addition, the quantitative entanglement measure concurrence, which has no classical counterpart and manifests a genuine quantum aspect of bipartite systems. A generalized duality relation, that also governs possible violations of the Bell's inequality, arises between single- and bipartite properties.

GENERALIZED COMPLEMENTARITY RELATIONS IN COMPOSITE QUANTUM SYSTEMS OF ARBITRARY DIMENSIONS

Matthias Jakob, János A. Bergou

Complementarity relations in composite bipartite quantum systems of arbitrary dimensions are proposed. Genuine bipartite quantum properties whose information content is quantified by the generalized concurrence mutually exclude the single-partite properties of the subsystems. The single-partite properties are determined by generalized predictabilities and visibilities, i.e. by the traditional concepts of wave-particle duality and define two complementary realities. These properties combined together are complementary to the generalized I-concurrence which quantifies genuine quantum correlations in n ⊗ m-dimensional bipartite systems. An important feature of the proposed quantitative complementarity relation is its upper bound which is given by a dimensional-dependent factor that exceeds unity in case of qudits with dimensionality d > 2. In d > 2-dimensional systems the information content can exceed one bit of information.

Discussão sobre complementaridade em sistemas quânticos de dois q-dits

Gabriel Augusto Pires de Pinho

In this work, we will deal with pure, bipartite quantum systems of two q-dits (arbitrary dimensions). In these systems, we will study the complementarity between the local entities Predictability and Visibility (that quantifie the properties of particle and wave of each subsystem) and the Concurrence, (that quantifies the entanglement between the q-dits). In a previous work [Quantitative complementarity relations in bipartite systems. Optics Communications, Vol 283, (2010); and arXiv.org, e-print quant-ph/0302075 (2003)] concerning systems of two q-bits (2x2), Jakob and Bergou have found that this complementarity can be quantified by a beautiful equality to one. But when the system is two q-dits there is a disagreement in the literature concerning the normalization of the local information (Preditability and Visibility) of the subsystems [Quantitative wave-particle duality in multibeam interferometers. Phys. Rev. A, Vol 64, 042113 (2001)] e [Complementarity and entanglement in bipartite qudit systems. Phys. Rev. A, Vol 76, 052107 (2007)]. In this last paper, Jakob and Bergou have chosen the non-normalization and have found an expression that quantifies the complementarity between local and non-local information, but not a so simple one, like it has been found in the two q-bits case. We have tried to see what happens if we choose normalized versions of the Preditability, Visibility and Concurrence and we have found an alternative relation that quantifies the complementarity, in terms of an equality to one

Quantum erasing of biphoton visibility: the complementarity between entanglement and single-partite properties

Matthias Jakob

A quantum eraser is proposed that operates in a domain that does not have any classical counterpart. This quantum eraser utilizes the complementary aspect between entanglement and single-partite properties of composite quantum systems. Consequently, in contrast to the duality of visibility and which-path information which establish features of single quantum systems, here, properties of composite quantum systems are considered. In composite quantum systems entanglement might emerge which is of genuine quantum origin. This nonclassical correlation mutually exclude the single-partite properties of the subsystems of the composite quantum system. The single-partite properties can be describes by wave- and particle properties, i.e. the standard wave-particle duality. Remarkably, entanglement can be considered as a resource for observables that do not exist in classical physics. In a bipartite photon system, this observable is the two-particle visibility which describes the phase relations that are shared between both photons of the composite system. The complementary aspect between two-particle visibility and single-partite properties of the subsystems prevents us from the observation of single-partite properties in an entangled biphoton system. The quantum eraser erases the two-partite visibility and retrieves single-partite properties in form of single-particle visibility for both of the two photons. Thus, both observables contain phase information giving rise to interference effects. Here, complementarity is explicitly enforced by entanglement in a quantitative manner.

Interference and which-state information for nonorthogonal states

K. M. Fonseca-Romero, J. G. G. de Oliveira, J. G. Peixoto de Faria +1 more

In two-dimensional systems, predictability and visibility satisfy a complementarity relation, which has been generalized to bipartite systems by including the concurrence. We consider systems in which the two alternatives of a which-state experiment are nonorthogonal states and propose generalized measures of predictability and visibility. Criteria like symmetry under exchange of the alternatives, vanishing visibility when only one of the alternatives is present, and clear operational meaning, favor definitions of predictability and visibility which use a three-dimensional basis, previously employed in the unambiguous discrimination of nonorthogonal states. We derive generalized single-partite and bipartite complementarity relations and find that predictability and visibility do not exhaust the single-partite properties for a nonorthogonal basis. A recent experiment on the quantum-classical border is analyzed using generalized complementarity relations.

Quantum Nondemolition Circuit for Testing Bipartite Complementarity

Fernando de Melo, Stephen Patrick Walborn, János A. Bergou +1 more

We present a quantum circuit that implements a nondemolition measurement of complementary single- and bipartite properties of a two-qubit system: entanglement and single-partite visibility and predictability. The system must be in a pure state with real coefficients in the computational basis, which allows a direct operational interpretation of those properties. The circuit can be realized in many systems of interest to quantum information.
