On entanglement of states and quantum correlations

W. A. Majewski

Published Feb 21, 2002• 10 citations

Abstract

In this paper we present the novel qualities of entanglement of formation for general (so also infinite dimensional) quantum systems and we introduce the notion of coefficient of quantum correlations. Our presentation stems from rigorous description of entanglement of formation.

On the measure of entanglement

Majewski, Adam W.

In this paper we present the novel qualities of entanglement of formation for general (so also infinite dimensional) quantum systems. A major benefit of our presentation is a rigorous description of entanglement of formation. In particular, we indicate how this description may be used to examine optimal decompositions. Illustrative examples showing the method of estimation of entanglement of formation are givem\n.

On entanglement of formation

Adam W Majewski

In this paper we present the novel qualities of entanglement of formation (EoF) for general (so also infinite-dimensional) quantum systems. A major benefit of our presentation is a rigorous description of EoF. In particular, we indicate how this description may be used to examine optimal decompositions. Illustrative examples showing the method of estimation of EoF are given.

Quantum correlations; quantum probability approach

W. A. Majewski

This survey gives a comprehensive account of quantum correlations understood as a phenomenon stemming from the rules of quantization. Centered on quantum probability it describes the physical concepts related to correlations (both classical and quantum), mathematical structures, and their consequences. These include the canonical form of classical correlation functionals, general definitions of separable (entangled) states, definition and analysis of quantumness of correlations, description of entanglement of formation, and PPT states. This work is intended both for physicists interested not only in collection of results but also in the mathematical methods justifying them, and mathematicians looking for an application of quantum probability to concrete new problems of quantum theory.

On the Measure of Quantum Correlations

W. A. Majewski

In this paper, we present novel qualities of the measure of noncommutative (so quantum) correlations for general quantum systems. In other words, the fundamental difference between classical and non-commutative probability will be studied. In particular, we introduce the notion of coefficient of quantum correlations \(d(\omega, A)\). The main theorem says that there are quantum correlations if and only if \(d(\omega, A) > 0\). Our presentation is done within \(C^*\)-algebraic description of Quantum Theory.

Quantum entanglement

Franck Laloë

In this chapter, we study the properties of quantum entanglement, and more generally the way correlations can appear in quantum mechanics. Quantum entanglement is an important notion that we have already discussed, for instance in the context of the Von Neumann chain or of the Schrödinger cat, but here we give more details on its properties. In classical physics, the notion of correlation is well known. It hinges on the calculation of probabilities and on linear averages over a number of possibilities. A distribution gives the probability of having the first system in a some given state and the second in another state. If this distribution is not a product, the two systems are correlated. If it is a product, they are uncorrelated; measuring the properties of one system does not bring any information on the other. This is in particular the case if the state of each of the two systems is perfectly defined (which also defines the state of the whole system perfectly well). The notion of correlation between sub-systems therefore stems from the multiplicity of possible states of the whole system; fluctuations of this state are necessary to give its full meaning to the classical notion of correlation. In quantum mechanics, the situation is different: as we have seen (in particular in Chapter 4), even a physical system that is perfectly defined by a given state vector already contains fluctuations.
