Geometry of entanglement in the Bloch sphere

چکیده
Entanglement is an important concept in quantum information, quantum communication, and quantum computing. We provide a geometrical analysis of entanglement and separability for all the rank 2 quantum mixed states: complete analysis for the bipartite states and partial analysis for the multipartite states. For each rank 2 mixed state, we define its unique Bloch sphere, that is spanned by the eigenstates of its density matrix. We characterize those Bloch spheres into exactly five classes of entanglement and separability, give examples for each class, and prove that those are the only classes.

Two and Three Qubits Geometry and Hopf Fibrations
This paper reviews recent attempts to describe the twoand threequbit Hilbert space geometries with the help of Hopf fibrations. In both cases, it is shown that the associated Hopf map is strongly sensitive to states entanglement content. In the two-qubit case, a generalization of the one-qubit celebrated Bloch sphere representation is described.
متن کاملGeometry of Entangled States , Bloch Spheres and Hopf Fibrations
We discuss a generalization to 2 qubits of the standard Bloch sphere representation for a single qubit, in the framework of Hopf fibrations of high dimensional spheres by lower dimensional spheres. The single qubit Hilbert space is the 3-dimensional sphere S. The S base space of a suitably oriented S Hopf fibration is nothing but the Bloch sphere, while the circular fibres represent the qubit o...
متن کاملSlipped non-Positive Reduced Dynamics and Entanglement
Non-positive Markov approximations are sometimes used to describe the dynamics of qubits in weak interaction with suitable environments; the appearance of negative probabilities is avoided by assuming that the transient regime eliminates from the possible initial conditions those qubit states which would otherwise be mapped out of the Bloch sphere by the subsequent Markovian time-evolution. By ...
متن کاملQuantum Entanglement: Separability, Measure, Fidelity of Teleportation, and Distillation
Quantum entanglement plays crucial roles in quantum information processing. Quantum entangled states have become the key ingredient in the rapidly expanding field of quantum information science. Although the nonclassical nature of entanglement has been recognized for many years, considerable efforts have been taken to understand and characterize its properties recently. In this review, we intro...
متن کاملMoving quantum agents in a finite environment
We investigate an all-quantum-mechanical spin network, in which a subset of spins, the K “moving agents”, are subject to local and pair unitary transformations controlled by their position with respect to a fixed ring of M “environmental”-spins. We demonstrate that a “flow of coherence” results between the various subsystems. Despite entanglement between the agents and between agent and environ...
