PHYSICAL SCIENCE Ingredients: Introduction to entanglement
- Slide 9
- Intro to entanglement Mutual information of two states: -
Entangled (maximal quantum correlations) - Separable (maximal
classical correlations)
- Slide 10
- Intro to entanglement Mutual information of two states: -
Entangled (maximal quantum correlations) - Separable (maximal
classical correlations) Entanglement allows systems to be more
correlated.

PHYSICAL SCIENCE Idea/analogy: Nonlocality & geometry
Understanding nonlocality from parallel transport
- Slide 18
- Nonlocality & Geometry in QM Aharonov-Bohm Effect Phase
shift is the geometric phase Y. Aharonov & D. Bohm, Phys. Rev.
115 485-491 (1959).
- Slide 19
- R should be periodic with period R. A. Webb et al., Phys. Rev.
Lett. 54 (25), 2696 (1985). h/e h/2e
- Slide 20
- Aharonov-Bohm topology Same phase picked up no matter what path
taken. Only need to encircle tip of cone (topological
property)

PHYSICAL SCIENCE Research: State space curvature due to subsystem
correlations Work with Vlatko Vedral
- Slide 22
- Studying the Effect of Entanglement on Geometric Phase Aim:
Compare subsystem and composite state geometric phases under fixed
entanglement. Composite (pure) Subsystem (mixed) StateGeometric
phase Keep entanglement fixed by evolving states under local
unitaries
- Slide 23
- Effect of Entanglement on Quantum Phase I Dynamical phase If
Dynamical phase of composite state always sum of subsystem
dynamical phases even if state entangled or not.
- Slide 24
- Effect of Entanglement on Quantum Phase II Geometrical phase
Composite state geometric phase generally not sum of subsystem
geometric phases unless state product state:
- Slide 25
- Effect of Entanglement on Quantum Phase II Geometrical phase Is
this pointing to a geometrical interpretation of correlations
(entanglement)? Difference missing correlations (classical and
quantum) make to GP and the curvature of the state space.

- GHZ & W States N qubit GHZ state GHZ example N=3 N qubit W
state W example N=3, k=1 State of each of N subsystems (labelled by
n) given by
- Slide 27
- Properties of GHZ & W states GHZ If you loose just one
particle, state unentangled but still classically correlated. All N
particles are entangled, no entanglement between
