Abstract

In this paper, by utilizing the idea of stabilizer codes, we give some relationships between one local unitary representation of braid group in N-qubit tensor space and the corresponding entanglement properties of the N-qubit pure state Ψ|\Psi\rangle, where the N-qubit state Ψ|\Psi\rangle is obtained by applying the braiding operation on the natural basis. Specifically, we show that the separability of Ψ=B0N|\Psi\rangle=\mathcal{B}|0\rangle^{\otimes N} is closely related to the diagrammatic version of the braid operator B\mathcal{B}. This may provide us more insights about the topological entanglement and quantum entanglement.
