Entanglement in Two and Three Quantum Mechanical Systems

L. M. Arvalo Aguilar, M. M. Mndez Otero, P. Mastranzo

Entanglement is one of most peculiar characteristic of Quantum Mechanics (probably the other most mentioned is the particle tunneling through a barrier) because it entails correlations that supersedes classical correlations. It is conceived as the genuine quantum characteristic by many researchers and quite recently it has emerged as a physical resource to produce non-classical task, like quantum teleportation, quantum cryptography and quantum information. Entanglement could be distributed (efficient quantum communication is equivalent to efficient entanglement distribution (Plenio & Virmani, 2007)), concentrated (given an amount of entanglement, equal to the full content of entanglement in n pairs of identical entangled pure state systems, it is possible, using local operations on each system, to concentrate the total amount of entanglement into a smaller number m, m < n, of maximally pure entangled state system (Bennett, et al.; 1996)) and used to perform many quantum information tasks useful to overcome technical restrictions present on classical communication. In this chapter, we review the entanglement of quantum mechanical systems. First, in Section 2, we give a characterization of entanglement in terms of its special features as resource and its mathematical structure. Then, in section 3, we review some of the Bell inequalities. In Sections 4 and 5, we review some of the most important entanglement measures published for two and three entangled systems. After that, in Section 6, we give a characterization of quantum gates and operators by its entanglement power, i. e. the amount of entanglement that they can produce when acting on an arbitrary state. Finally, in Section 7, we briefly review the experimental detection of entanglement.

Quantum Teleportation by Particle-Hole Annihilation in the Fermi Sea

C. W. J. Beenakker, M. Kindermann

We point out that the mutual annihilation of an electron-hole pair at a tunnel barrier leads to teleportation of the state of the annihilated electron to a second, distant electron--if the latter was previously entangled with the annihilated hole. We propose an experiment, involving low-frequency noise measurements on a two-dimensional electron gas in a high magnetic field, to detect teleportation of electrons and holes in the two lowest Landau levels.

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.
