Entanglement is a fundamental property of quantum systems, essential for non-trivial quantum programs. Identifying when qubits become entangled is critical for circuit optimization, and for arguing for the correctness of quantum algorithms.…
The more information a measurement provides about a quantum system's position statistics, the less information a subsequent measurement can provide about the system's momentum statistics. This information trade-off is embodied in the…
