APPLICATION OF LINEAR OPERATORS AND TENSOR PRODUCTS IN QUANTUM ENTANGLEMENT AND QUANTUM COMPUTING

Sevinchova Charosxon Maxmudjonovna, Worldly Knowledge Publishing Centre

Quantum computing is fundamentally based on the mathematical structure of complex Hilbert spaces, linear operators, tensor products, and unitary transformations. Among these concepts, tensor products provide the formal mechanism for constructing the state space of composite quantum systems, whereas linear and unitary operators describe quantum transformations, measurements, and computational gates. This article examines the mathematical relationship between linear operators and tensor products and analyzes their role in the formation, manipulation, and characterization of quantum entanglement. Particular attention is given to two-qubit systems, separable and entangled states, Schmidt decomposition, controlled operations, and the role of non-factorizable operators in quantum circuits. The analysis demonstrates that tensor products perform a dual function: they provide the mathematical representation of composite systems and enable the construction of local operations acting on individual subsystems. At the same time, genuinely entangling transformations, such as the controlled-NOT operation, cannot in general be represented as a single tensor product of independent local operators. Recent research further demonstrates that tensor-product and operator-Schmidt decompositions can be used to characterize operator entanglement, reduce circuit complexity, and construct efficient representations of quantum processes. The results establish that linear algebra and tensor-product structures are not merely formal tools but constitute the mathematical foundation connecting quantum entanglement with quantum computation.

Fast generation of Pauli transfer matrices utilizing tensor product structure

Lukas Hantzko, Lennart Binkowski, Sabhyata Gupta

Abstract Analysis of quantum processes, especially in the context of noise, errors, and decoherence is essential for the improvement of quantum devices. An intuitive representation of those processes modeled by quantum channels are Pauli transfer matrices. They display the action of a linear map in the n-qubit Pauli basis in a way, that is more intuitive, since Pauli strings are more tangible objects than the standard basis matrices. We set out to investigate classical algorithms that convert the various representations into Pauli transfer matrices. We propose new algorithms that make explicit use of the tensor product structure of the Pauli basis. They convert a quantum channel in a given representation (Chi or process matrix, Choi matrix, superoperator, or Kraus operators) to the corresponding Pauli transfer matrix. Moreover, the underlying principle can also be used to calculate the Pauli transfer matrix of other linear operations over n-qubit matrices such as left-, right-, and sandwich multiplication as well as forming the (anti-)commutator with a given operator. Finally, we investigate the runtime of these algorithms, derive their asymptotic scaling and demonstrate improved performance using instances with up to seven qubits.

Tensor-product representation of qubits and tensor realization of one-qubit operators

Петер Адам, V. A. Andreev, József Janszky +2 more

We consider one-particle spin states. We show that all the information contained in the state can be written in an equivalent form using three completely decohered mixed states. The density matrix of such a system has the form of tensor product of three diagonal matrices. The unitary operators defined in the space of one-particle spin states are represented by some transformation of tensor products of diagonal matrices. We determine the explicit form of the unitary transformations acting on the representing three-qubit system and corresponding basic operators acting in the space of the initial qubit states.
