2 00 4 Random Witnesses and the Classical Character of Macroscopic Objects

چکیده
An observable W that distinguishes all the unentangled states from some entangled states is called a witness. We consider witnesses on n qbits, and use the following normalization: A witness W satisfies |tr(W ρ)| ≤ 1 for all separable states ρ, while W > 1, with the norm being the maximum among the absolute values of the eigenvalues of W. Although there are n-qbit witnesses whose norm is exponential in n, we conjecture that for a large majority of n-qbit witnesses W ≤ O(√ n log n). We prove this conjecture for the family of extremal witnesses introduced by Werner and Wolf (Phys. Rev. A 64, 032112 (2001)). Assuming the conjecture is valid we argue that multiparticle entanglement can be detected only if a system has been carefully prepared in a very special state. Otherwise, multiparticle entanglement lies below the possibility of detection, even if it exists, and even if decoherence has been " turned off " .

Random Witnesses and the Classical Character of Macroscopic Objects
An observableW that distinguishes all the unentangled states from some entangled states is called a witness. We consider witnesses on n qbits, and use the following normalization: A witness W satisfies |tr(Wρ)| ≤ 1 for all separable states ρ, while kWk > 1, with the norm being the maximum among the absolute values of the eigenvalues of W .

متن کاملAFFINE SUBGROUPS OF THE CLASSICAL GROUPS AND THEIR CHARACTER DEGREES
In this paper we describe how the degrees of the irreducible characters of the affine subgroups of the classical groups under consideration can be found inductively. In [4] Gow obtained certain character degrees for all of the affine subgroups of the classical groups. We apply the method of Fischer to the above groups and, in addition to the character degrees given in [4], we obtain some ne...

Preciously given rules allow conscious systems to be included in quantum mechanical systems. There rules are derived from the empirical experience of an observer who witnesses a quantum mechanical interaction leading to the capture of a single particle. In the present paper it is shown that purely classical changes experienced by an observer are consistent with these rules. Three different inte...

This paper summarises the results of our research on macroscopic entanglement in spin systems and free Bosonic gases. We explain how entanglement can be observed using entanglement witnesses which are themselves constructed within the framework of thermodynamics and thus macroscopic observables. These thermodynamical entanglement witnesses result in bounds on macroscopic parameters of the syste...
متن کاملOn character projectivity Of Banach modules
Let $A$ be a Banach algebra, $\Omega(A)$ be the character space of $A$ and $\alpha\in\Omega(A)$. In this paper, we examine the characteristics of $\alpha$-projective (injective) $A$-modules and demonstrate that these character-based $A$-modules also satisfy well-known classical homological properties on Banach $A$-modules.
