Entropy of temporal entanglement

Quantum Physics 2022-04-05 v2 High Energy Physics - Theory History and Philosophy of Physics

Abstract

A recently proposed history formalism is used to define temporal entanglement in quantum systems, and compute its entropy. The procedure is based on the time-reduction of the history density operator, and allows a symmetrical treatment of space and time correlations. Temporal entanglement entropy is explicitly calculated in two simple quantum computation circuits.
