Entanglement Zoo I: Foundational and Structural Aspects

We put forward a general classification for a structural description of the entanglement present in compound entities experimentally violating Bell’s inequalities, making use of a new entanglement scheme that we developed in [1]. Our scheme, although different from the traditional one, is completely compatible with standard quantum theory, and enables quantum modeling in complex Hilbert space f...

Entanglement Theory and the Quantum Simulation of Many-Body Physics

Quantum mechanics led us to reconsider the scope of physics and its building principles, such as the notions of realism and locality. More recently, quantum theory has changed in an equally dramatic manner our understanding of information processing and computation. On one hand, the fundamental properties of quantum systems can be harnessed to transmit, store, and manipulate information in a mo...

Weak Quantum Theory: Complementarity and Entanglement in Physics and Beyond

The concepts of complementarity and entanglement are considered with respect to their significance in and beyond physics. A formally generalized, weak version of quantum theory, more general than ordinary quantum theory of physical systems, is outlined and tentatively applied to two examples.

Environment-assisted invariance, entanglement, and probabilities in quantum physics.

I introduce environment-assisted invariance or envariance-a symmetry exhibited by correlated quantum systems and related to causality-and describe how it can be used to understand the nature of ignorance and, hence, the origin and interpretation of Born's rule for quantum probabilities.
