Werner State
A Werner state is a -dimensional bipartite quantum state density matrix that is invariant under all unitary operators of the form U \otimes U. That is, it is a bipartite quantum state \rho_ that satisfies :\rho_ = (U \otimes U) \rho_ (U^\dagger \otimes U^\dagger) for all unitary operators ''U'' acting on ''d''-dimensional Hilbert space. These states were first developed by Reinhard F. Werner in 1989. General definition Every Werner state W_^ is a mixture of projectors onto the symmetric and antisymmetric subspaces, with the relative weight p \in ,1/math> being the main parameter that defines the state, in addition to the dimension d \geq 2: :W_^ = p \frac P^\text_ + (1-p) \frac P^\text_, where :P^\text_ = \frac(I_+F_), :P^\text_ = \frac(I_-F_), are the projectors and :F_ = \sum_ , i\rangle \langle j, _A \otimes , j\rangle \langle i, _B is the permutation or flip operator that exchanges the two subsystems ''A'' and ''B''. Werner states are separable for ''p'' ≥ and entangl ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Physical Review A
''Physical Review A'' (also known as PRA) is a monthly peer-reviewed scientific journal published by the American Physical Society covering atomic, molecular, and optical physics and quantum information. the editor was Jan M. Rost (Max Planck Institute for the Physics of Complex Systems). History In 1893, the ''Physical Review'' was established at Cornell University. It was taken over by the American Physical Society (formed in 1899) in 1913. In 1970, ''Physical Review'' was subdivided into ''Physical Review A'', ''B'', ''C'', and ''D''. At that time section ''A'' was subtitled ''Physical Review A: General Physics''. In 1990 a process was started to split this journal into two, resulting in the creation of ''Physical Review E'' in 1993. Hence, in 1993, ''Physical Review A'' changed its statement of scope to ''Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics.'' In January 2007, the section of ''Physical Review E'' that published papers on classical optics was merged into ''Physical Review ...

Quantum State
In quantum physics, a quantum state is a mathematical entity that provides a probability distribution for the outcomes of each possible measurement on a system. Knowledge of the quantum state together with the rules for the system's evolution in time exhausts all that can be predicted about the system's behavior. A mixture of quantum states is again a quantum state. Quantum states that cannot be written as a mixture of other states are called pure quantum states, while all other states are called mixed quantum states. A pure quantum state can be represented by a ray in a Hilbert space over the complex numbers, while mixed states are represented by density matrices, which are positive semidefinite operators that act on Hilbert spaces. Pure states are also known as state vectors or wave functions, the latter term applying particularly when they are represented as functions of position or momentum. For example, when dealing with the energy spectrum of the electron in a hydrogen at ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Invariant (mathematics)
In mathematics, an invariant is a property of a mathematical object (or a class of mathematical objects) which remains unchanged after operations or transformations of a certain type are applied to the objects. The particular class of objects and type of transformations are usually indicated by the context in which the term is used. For example, the area of a triangle is an invariant with respect to isometries of the Euclidean plane. The phrases "invariant under" and "invariant to" a transformation are both used. More generally, an invariant with respect to an equivalence relation is a property that is constant on each equivalence class. Invariants are used in diverse areas of mathematics such as geometry, topology, algebra and discrete mathematics. Some important classes of transformations are defined by an invariant they leave unchanged. For example, conformal maps are defined as transformations of the plane that preserve angles. The discovery of invariants is an important ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Unitary Operator
In functional analysis, a unitary operator is a surjective bounded operator on a Hilbert space that preserves the inner product. Unitary operators are usually taken as operating ''on'' a Hilbert space, but the same notion serves to define the concept of isomorphism ''between'' Hilbert spaces. A unitary element is a generalization of a unitary operator. In a unital algebra, an element of the algebra is called a unitary element if , where is the identity element. Definition Definition 1. A ''unitary operator'' is a bounded linear operator on a Hilbert space that satisfies , where is the adjoint of , and is the identity operator. The weaker condition defines an ''isometry''. The other condition, , defines a ''coisometry''. Thus a unitary operator is a bounded linear operator which is both an isometry and a coisometry, or, equivalently, a surjective isometry. An equivalent definition is the following: Definition 2. A ''unitary operator'' is a bounded linear operator on a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Projection (linear Algebra)
In linear algebra and functional analysis, a projection is a linear transformation P from a vector space to itself (an endomorphism) such that P\circ P=P. That is, whenever P is applied twice to any vector, it gives the same result as if it were applied once (i.e. P is idempotent). It leaves its image unchanged. This definition of "projection" formalizes and generalizes the idea of graphical projection. One can also consider the effect of a projection on a geometrical object by examining the effect of the projection on points in the object. Definitions A projection on a vector space V is a linear operator P : V \to V such that P^2 = P. When V has an inner product and is complete (i.e. when V is a Hilbert space) the concept of orthogonality can be used. A projection P on a Hilbert space V is called an orthogonal projection if it satisfies \langle P \mathbf x, \mathbf y \rangle = \langle \mathbf x, P \mathbf y \rangle for all \mathbf x, \mathbf y \in V. A projection on a Hilbert ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Separable States
In quantum mechanics, separable states are quantum states belonging to a composite space that can be factored into individual states belonging to separate subspaces. A state is said to be entangled if it is not separable. In general, determining if a state is separable is not straightforward and the problem is classed as NP-hard. Separability of bipartite systems Consider first composite states with two degrees of freedom, referred to as ''bipartite states''. By a postulate of quantum mechanics these can be described as vectors in the tensor product space H_1\otimes H_2. In this discussion we will focus on the case of the Hilbert spaces H_1 and H_2 being finite-dimensional. Pure states Let \_^n\subset H_1 and \_^m \subset H_2 be orthonormal bases for H_1 and H_2, respectively. A basis for H_1 \otimes H_2 is then \, or in more compact notation \. From the very definition of the tensor product, any vector of norm 1, i.e. a pure state of the composite system, can be written ...

Reduction Criterion
In quantum information theory, the reduction criterion is a necessary condition a mixed state must satisfy in order for it to be separable. In other words, the reduction criterion is a ''separability criterion''. It was first proved and independently formulated in 1999. Violation of the reduction criterion is closely related to the distillability of the state in question. Details Let ''H''1 and ''H''2 be Hilbert spaces of finite dimensions ''n'' and ''m'' respectively. ''L''(''Hi'') will denote the space of linear operators acting on ''Hi''. Consider a bipartite quantum system whose state space is the tensor product : H = H_1 \otimes H_2. An (un-normalized) mixed state ''ρ'' is a positive linear operator (density matrix) acting on ''H''. A linear map Φ: ''L''(''H''2) → ''L''(''H''1) is said to be positive if it preserves the cone of positive elements, i.e. ''A'' is positive implied ''Φ''(''A'') is also. From the one-to-one correspondence between positive maps and entang ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Quantum Channel
In quantum information theory, a quantum channel is a communication channel which can transmit quantum information, as well as classical information. An example of quantum information is the state of a qubit. An example of classical information is a text document transmitted over the Internet. More formally, quantum channels are completely positive (CP) trace-preserving maps between spaces of operators. In other words, a quantum channel is just a quantum operation viewed not merely as the reduced dynamics of a system but as a pipeline intended to carry quantum information. (Some authors use the term "quantum operation" to also include trace-decreasing maps while reserving "quantum channel" for strictly trace-preserving maps.) Memoryless quantum channel We will assume for the moment that all state spaces of the systems considered, classical or quantum, are finite-dimensional. The memoryless in the section title carries the same meaning as in classical information theory: the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
