entanglement a quantum correlation between two or more qubits such that the state of each cannot be described independently measuring one instantly determines information about the others quantum entanglement is one of the most counterintuitive features of quantum mechanics and one of its most useful when two qubits are entangled their states cannot be described independently there is no state for qubit a and a separate state for qubit b there is only a joint state for the pair measuring one qubit instantly constrains what you will find when you measure the other regardless of the distance between them einstein called this spooky action at a distance and argued it proved quantum mechanics was incomplete bell inequality tests beginning with aspect s experiments in 1982 and culminating in loophole free tests in 2015 proved him wrong the correlations are real and no classical model can reproduce them the details the simplest entangled state is the bell state φ 00 11 2 phi rangle frac 00 rangle 11 rangle sqrt 2 φ 2 00 11 measuring both qubits always yields 00 or 11 never 01 or 10 even though each individual measurement is equally likely to give 0 or 1 this perfect correlation cannot be explained by any classical probability distribution over hidden variables as bell s theorem proves a state is unentangled a product state if it can be written as ψ ψ a ψ b psi rangle psi_a rangle otimes psi_b rangle ψ ψ a ψ b for example 0 0 1 2 0 00 10 2 rangle otimes 0 rangle 0 rangle 1 rangle sqrt 2 otimes 0 rangle 00 rangle 10 rangle sqrt 2 0 0 1 2 0 00 10 2 is a product state the bell state above cannot be written this way entanglement is quantified by entanglement entropy for a bipartite state ψ a b psi_ ab rangle ψ a b compute the reduced density matrix ρ a tr b ψ ψ rho_a text tr _b psi rangle langle psi ρ a tr b ψ ψ and calculate the von neumann entropy s tr ρ a log 2 ρ a s text tr rho_a log_2 rho_a s tr ρ a lo g 2 ρ a a product state has s 0 s 0 s 0 a maximally entangled bell state has s 1 s 1 s 1 ebit for n n n qubits the maximum entanglement entropy grows as n 2 n 2 n 2 ebits creating entanglement in a circuit requires at least one two qubit gate the standard recipe uses a hadamard followed by a cnot from qiskit import quantumcircuit qc quantumcircuit 2 qc h 0 qc cx 0 1 state is now 00 11 sqrt 2 why it matters for learners entanglement is the resource that makes quantum computation qualitatively different from classical computation three applications are critical to understand algorithms shor s algorithm and grover s algorithm both require entanglement between qubits without it the interference effects that give quantum speedups cannot occur error correction quantum error correction encodes one logical qubit into an entangled state spread across many physical qubits the entanglement is what allows errors to be detected without measuring the protected state directly communication quantum teleportation consumes one entangled pair to transfer one qubit s worth of state quantum key distribution uses entangled pairs to detect eavesdropping with physical certainty common misconceptions misconception 1 entanglement allows faster than light communication it does not the correlation exists but neither party can control the outcome of their local measurement the outcome is random to extract the correlation the parties must compare their results over a classical channel which cannot exceed the speed of light misconception 2 entanglement means the qubits are physically connected entangled qubits can be separated by arbitrary distances the entanglement is a property of the joint quantum state not a physical link once established through a prior interaction the correlations persist until one of the qubits is measured or decoheres misconception 3 more entanglement is always better highly entangled states are computationally powerful but also harder to prepare more sensitive to noise and harder to simulate classically the right amount of entanglement for a given algorithm is specific to that algorithm s structure see also bell state qubit quantum teleportation quantum error correction cnot gate related terms bell state one of four maximally entangled two qubit states the simplest and most important examples of quantum entanglement quantum cryptography using quantum mechanical properties to secure communication most notably quantum key distribution qkd which guarantees eavesdropping is detectable by the laws of physics quantum teleportation a protocol that transfers an exact quantum state from one qubit to another using a shared bell pair and two classical bits without physically moving the qubit qubit the fundamental unit of quantum information a two level quantum system that can exist in superposition
