We develop an approach where the quantum system states and quantum observables are described as in classical statistical mechanics -- the states are identified with probability distributions and observables, with random variables. An…
The Groverian entanglement measure of pure quantum states of $n$ qubits is generalized to the case in which the qubits are divided into any $m \le n$ parties and the entanglement between these parties is evaluated. To demonstrate this…
We represent generalized density matrices of a $d$-complex dimensional quantum system as a subcone of a real pointed cone of revolution in $\mathbb{R}^{d^2}$, or indeed a Minkowskian cone in $\mathbb{E}^{1,d^2-1}$. Generalized pure states…
The standard Bloch sphere representation was recently generalized to the 'extended Bloch representation' describing not only systems of arbitrary dimension, but also their measurements. This model solves the measurement problem and is based…
We present graphical representation for genaralized quantum measurements (POVM). We represent POVM elements as Bloch vectors and find the conditions these vectors should satisfy in order to describe realizable physical measurements. We show…
In quantum mechanics, pointer states are eigenstates of the observable of the measurement apparatus that represent the possible positions of the display pointer of the equipment. The origin of this concept lies in attempts to fill the…
The geometric interpretation of (pseudo)spin 1/2 systems on the Bloch sphere has been appreciated across different areas ranging from condensed matter to quantum information and high energy physics. Although similar notions for larger…
We study in detail the dynamics of unstable two-level quantum systems by adopting the Bloch-vector representation. We identify a novel class of critical scenarios in which the so-called energy-level and decay-width vectors, ${\bf E}$ and…
We provide a class of six-qubit states for three-qubit perfect teleportation. These states include the six-qubit cluster states as a special class. We generalize this class of six-qubit states to 2n-qubit pure states for n-qubit…
We examine the anyon representation of the Laughlin quasi-holes, in particular the one-dimensional, algebraic aspects of the representation. For the cases of one and two quasi-holes an explicit mapping to anyon systems is given, and the…
We consider the kinematics of bi-partite quantum states as determined by observable quantities, in particular the Bloch vectors of the subsystems. In examining the simplest case of a pair of two-level systems, there is a remarkable…
We prove that the vast majority of symmetric states of qubits can be decomposed in a unique way into a superposition of spin 1/2 coherent states. For the case of two qubits, the proposed decomposition reproduces the Schmidt decomposition…
The shape space of k labelled points on a plane can be identified with the space of pure quantum states of dimension k-2. Hence, the machinery of quantum mechanics can be applied to the statistical analysis of planar configurations of…
Blockmodeling of a given problem represented by an $N\times N$ adjacency matrix can be found by swapping rows and columns of the matrix (i.e. multiplying matrix from left and right by a permutation matrix). Although classical matrix…
We discuss existence of mixed state of multicomponent system with given spectrum and given reduced density matrices. We give a complete solution of the problem in terms of linear inequalities on the spectra, accompanied with extensive…
We introduce a visual representation of qubits to assist in explaining quantum computing to a broad audience. The representation follows from physical devices that we developed to explain superposition, entanglement, measurement, phases,…
We present a new quasi-probability distribution function for ensembles of spin-half particles or qubits that has many properties in common with Wigner's original function for systems of continuous variables. We show that this function…
The Bloch sphere representation is a geometric model for all possible quantum states of a two-level system that can be used to describe the time dynamics of a qubit. As explicit application, we consider the time dynamics of a particle in a…
We study a realistic model for driven qubits using the numerical solution of the Bloch-Redfield equation as well as analytical approximations using a high-frequency scheme. Unlike in idealized rotating-wave models suitable for NMR or…
We study the separability of bipartite quantum systems in arbitrary dimensions using the Bloch representation of their density matrix. This approach enables us to find an alternative characterization of the separability problem, from which…
