Two and Three Qubits Geometry and Hopf Fibrations
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper reviews recent attempts to describe the twoand threequbit Hilbert space geometries with the help of Hopf fibrations. In both cases, it is shown that the associated Hopf map is strongly sensitive to states entanglement content. In the two-qubit case, a generalization of the one-qubit celebrated Bloch sphere representation is described.

Geometry of Entangled States , Bloch Spheres and Hopf Fibrations
We discuss a generalization to 2 qubits of the standard Bloch sphere representation for a single qubit, in the framework of Hopf fibrations of high dimensional spheres by lower dimensional spheres. The single qubit Hilbert space is the 3-dimensional sphere S. The S base space of a suitably oriented S Hopf fibration is nothing but the Bloch sphere, while the circular fibres represent the qubit o...
متن کاملOn the geometry and invariants of qubits, quartits and octits
Four level quantum systems, known as quartits, and their relation to twoqubit systems are investigated group theoretically. Following the spirit of Klein’s lectures on the icosahedron and their relation to Hopf sphere fibrations, invariants of complex reflection groups occuring in the theory of qubits and quartits are displayed. Then, real gates over octits leading to the Weyl group of E8 and i...
متن کاملThree-Qubit Operators, the Split Cayley Hexagon of Order Two and Black Holes
Abstract The set of 63 real generalized Pauli matrices of three-qubits can be factored into two subsets of 35 symmetric and 28 antisymmetric elements. This splitting is shown to be completely embodied in the properties of the Fano plane; the elements of the former set being in a bijective correspondence with the 7 points, 7 lines and 21 flags, whereas those of the latter set having their counte...
متن کاملQuantum Entanglement Through Quaternions
Using quaternions, we study the geometry of the single and two qubit states of quantum entanglement. Through the Hopf fibrations, we identify geometric manifestations of the separability and entanglement of two qubit quantum systems.
متن کاملThe Topological Blaschke Conjecture I: Great Circle Fibrations of Spheres
We construct an explicit diffeomorphism taking any fibration of a sphere by great circles into the Hopf fibration. We use pure geometry, and no topology, to carry out the construction—indeed the diffeomorphism is a local (differential) invariant, algebraic in derivatives.
