Decomposition of non-composite quantum systems

Додин Дмитрий Валерьевич, I. G. Kovalenko, Alexander I. Lvovsky

A composite quantum system is a fundamental object in quantum informatics. A composite quantum system is considered a system whose dimension is a composite integer number whereas the prime integers may only correspond to non‐composite systems. Entanglement and the procedure of reduction to a subsystem via averaging over environment are only formulated for composite systems. In the present report we introduce a procedure of decomposition into ‘subsystems’ for a system whose dimension is an arbitrary number including a prime integer. This procedure generalizes the standard procedure of reduction. In the particular case of a non‐composite system the space of states of the decomposed system splits into direct sum of subspaces of states and the average dimension of subspaces is a fractional number. We compare the properties of the introduced procedure of decomposition and the standard separation into subsystems.

Conditional Density Matrix: Systems and Subsystems in Quantum Mechanics

Vladimir Viktorovich Belokurov, Oleg Antonovich Khrustalev, Victor Antonovich Sadovnichy +1 more

A new quantum mechanical notion -- Conditional Density Matrix -- is discussed and is applied to describe some physical processes. This notion is a natural generalization of von Neumann density matrix for such processes as divisions of quantum systems into subsystems and reunifications of subsystems into new joint systems. Conditional Density Matrix assigns a quantum state to a subsystem of a composite system under condition that another part of the composite system is in some pure state.

Conditional density matrix: subsystems in quantum communication

Vladimir Viktorovich Belokurov, Oleg Antonovich Khrustalev, Victor Antonovich Sadovnichy +1 more

A new quantum mechanical notion - Conditional Density Matrix - proposed by the authors, is discussed and is applied to describe some physical processes. This notion is a natural generalization of von Neumann density matrix for such processes as divisions of quantum systems into subsystems and reunifications of subsystems into new joint systems. Conditional Density Matrix assigns a quantum state to a subsystem of a composite system under condition that another part of the composition system is in some pure state. It is shown that conditional density matrix naturally arises by expanding of reduced density matrix.
