Entanglement
of Quantum States| Entanglement
of Quantum States |
In General > s.a. correlations; quantum experiments and foundations;
uncertainty.
* Idea: A linking that
persists between the wave functions of particles (photons, ions) even when
isolated from one another; Two subsystems
are entangled
if the total wave function is not factorizable, and values cannot
be assigned to observables for the individual systems; 2007, a notion of generalized
entanglement has emerged, defined through expectation values of preferred observables,
without reference to a subsystem decomposition.
* History: 2000, Long
the subject of discussion by philosophers of quantum theory, has recently come
to play an essential role for physicists in their
development of quantum information theory; Entangled state of 4 particles,
and between Be atoms achieved; 2001, Entangled state of two trillion-atom gas
clouds achieved; 2003, Two
solid-state superconducting qubits entangled over 0.7 mm (earlier
only micron scale); 2003, Effects seen in the bulk properties of a magnetic
salt crystal [@ news pw(03)sep];
2004, 3- and 4-photon entanglement produced, beating the diffraction limit
[@ news pw(04)may];
2005, Entangled states of 6 Be atoms and 8 Ca atoms [@ news pw(05)dec];
2007, entanglement sudden death observed [@ news pw(07)may].
* And non-locality: It
is often assumed that the most non-local states are the maximally entangled
ones; This is not the case.

* Idea: The standard
entanglement measure for a pure state is sin2
,
where is the angle
between the state and the closest separable one.
