A hierarchy of Hamilton operators and entanglement

Abstract

Abstract We consider a hierarchy of Hamilton operators Ĥ N in finite dimensional Hilbert spaces $$ \mathbb{C}^{2^N } $$. We show that the eigenstates of Ĥ N are fully entangled for N even. We also calculate the unitary operator U N(t) = exp(—Ĥ N t/ħ) for the time evolution and show that unentangled states can be transformed into entangled states using this operator. We also investigate energy level crossing for this hierarchy of Hamilton operators.

Energy Level Crossing and Entanglement

Willi-Hans Steeb

Abstract We consider a Hamilton operator in a finite dimensional Hilbert space with energy level crossing. We discuss the question how energy level crossing and entanglement of states in this Hilbert space are intertwined. Since energy level crossing is related to symmetries of the Hamilton operator we also derive these symmetries and give the reduction to the invariant Hilbert subspaces.

Spin Hamilton Operators, Symmetry Breaking, Energy Level Crossing, and Entanglement

Willi-Hans Steeb, Yorick Hardy, Jacqueline de Greef

We study finite-dimensional product Hilbert spaces, coupled spin systems, entanglement, and energy level crossing. The Hamilton operators are based on the Pauli group.We show that swapping the interacting term can lead from unentangled eigenstates to entangled eigenstates and from an energy spectrum with energy level crossing to avoided energy level crossing.

N-tangle, Entangled Orthonormal Basis, and a Hierarchy of Spin Hamilton Operators

Willi-Hans Steeb, Yorick Hardy

An N-tangle can be defined for the finite dimensional Hilbert space H = C2N , with N = 3 or N even.We give an orthonormal basis which is fully entangled with respect to this measure.We provide a spin Hamilton operator which has this entangled basis as normalized eigenvectors if N is even. From these normalized entangled states a Bell matrix is constructed and the cosine-sine decomposition is calculated. If N is odd the normalized eigenvectors can be entangled or unentangled depending on the parameters.

A SEQUENCE OF QUANTUM GATES

Yorick Hardy, W.‐H. Steeb

We study a sequence of quantum gates in finite-dimensional Hilbert spaces given by the normalized eigenvectors of the unitary operators. The corresponding sequence of the Hamilton operators is also given. From the Hamilton operators we construct another hierarchy of quantum gates via the Cayley transform.

UNITARY OPERATORS, ENTANGLEMENT, AND GRAM–SCHMIDT ORTHOGONALIZATION

Yorick Hardy, Willi-Hans Steeb

We consider finite-dimensional Hilbert spaces [Formula: see text] with [Formula: see text] with n ≥ 2 and unitary operators. In particular, we consider the case n = 2m, where m ≥ 2 in order to study entanglement of states in these Hilbert spaces. Two normalized states ψ and ϕ in these Hilbert spaces [Formula: see text] are connected by a unitary transformation (n×n unitary matrices), i.e. ψ = Uϕ, where U is a unitary operator UU* = I. Given the normalized states ψ and ϕ, we provide an algorithm to find this unitary operator U for finite-dimensional Hilbert spaces. The construction is based on a modified Gram–Schmidt orthonormalization technique. A number of applications important in quantum computing are given. Symbolic C++ is used to give a computer algebra implementation in C++.
