Understanding quantum entanglement: Qubits, rebits and the quaternionic approach

Josep Amengual i Batle, Angel Ricardo Plastino, M. Casas +1 more

It has been recently pointed out by Caves, Fuchs, and Rungta [1] that real quantum mechanics (that is, quantum mechanics defined over real vector spaces [2–5]) provides an interesting foil theory whose study may shed some light on just which particular aspects of quantum entanglement are unique to standard quantum theory and which are more generic over other physical theories endowed with this phenomenon. Following this work, some entanglement properties of two-rebit systems are discussed and a comparison with the basic properties of two-qubit systems, i.e., the systems described by standard complex quantum mechanics, is made. The use of quaternionic quantum mechanics as applied to the phenomenon of entanglement is also discussed.

The rebit three-tangle and its relation to two-qubit entanglement

William K. Wootters

The three-tangle is a measure of three-way entanglement in a system of three qubits. For a pure state, it can be understood as the residual entanglement not accounted for by pairwise entanglements between individual qubits. Here we define and evaluate the analogous quantity for three rebits (that is, binary systems in the real-amplitude variant of quantum theory). We find that the resulting formula is the same as in the complex case, except that an overall absolute value sign is missing. As a result, the rebit three-tangle can be negative, expressing the possibility of non-monogamous entanglement in real-amplitude quantum theory (for entanglement based on the convex-roof construction). We then relate the entanglement among three rebits to the entanglement of two qubits, by re-expressing the two-qubit state as a three-rebit state in the ubit model. This article is part of a special issue of Journal of Physics A: Mathematical and Theoretical devoted to '50 years of Bell's theorem'.
