Entangled Chains
نویسنده
چکیده
Consider an infinite collection of qubits arranged in a line, such that every pair of nearest neighbors is entangled: an “entangled chain.” In this paper we consider entangled chains with translational invariance and ask how large one can make the nearest neighbor entanglement. We find that it is possible to achieve an entanglement of formation equal to 0.285 ebits between each pair of nearest neighbors, and that this is the best one can do under certain assumptions about the state of the chain. PACS numbers: 03.67.-a, 03.65.Bz, 89.70.+c

Infinite Dimensional Entangled Markov Chains
We continue the analysis of nontrivial examples of quantum Markov processes. This is done by applying the construction of entangled Markov chains obtained from classical Markov chains with infinite state–space. The formula giving the joint correlations arises from the corresponding classical formula by replacing the usual matrix multiplication by the Schur multiplication. In this way, we provid...
متن کاملEntangled Markov Chains generated by Symmetric Channels
Abstract: A notion of entangled Markov chain was introduced by Accardi and Fidaleo in the context of quantum random walk. They proved that, in the finite dimensional case, the corresponding states have vanishing entropy density, but they did not prove that they are entangled. In the present note this entropy result is extended to the infinite dimensional case under the assumption of finite spee...
متن کاملσ-Entangled Linear Orders and Narrowness of Products of Boolean Algebras
We investigate σ-entangled linear orders and narrowness of Boolean algebras. We show existence of σ-entangled linear orders in many cardinals, and we build Boolean algebras with neither large chains nor large pies. We study the behavior of these notions in ultraproducts. ∗ Partially supported by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft, Grant No. Ko 490/7-1. Publication 462.
متن کاملRole of entanglements and bond scission in high strain-rate deformation of polymer gels
A key factor that limits the practical implementation of polymer gels is low gel toughness. Here, we present coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulations of the effects of solvent molecular weight on the toughness of entangled and non-entangled polymer gels in the ballistic impact regime. Our results demonstrate that higher molecular weight solvents enhance gel toughness, and that mechanical p...
متن کاملLinear and Nonlinear Shear Rheology of a Marginally Entangled Ring Polymer
We present systematic, unique linear and nonlinear shear rheology data of an experimentally pure ring polystyrene and its linear precursor. This polymer was synthesized anionically and characterized by interaction chromatography and fractionation at the critical condition. Its weight-average molar mass is 84 kg/mol; i.e., it is marginally entangled (entanglement number Z ≈ 5). Its linear viscoe...
