Spin flips and quantum information for anti-parallel spins

Quantum Physics 2013-01-22 v1

Abstract

We consider two different ways to encode quantum information, by parallel or anti-parallel pairs of spins. We find that there is more information in the anti-parallel ones. This purely quantum mechanical effect is due to entanglement, not of the states but occuring in the course of the measuring process. We also introduce a range of quantum information processing machines, such as spin-flip and anti-cloning.
