History
Both speakers yesterday referred to how
Schrödinger coined the term “entanglement” in 1935 (or earlier)
![Page 10: School of something FACULTY OF OTHER School of Physics and Astronomy FACULTY OF MATHEMATICAL AND PHYSICAL SCIENCES Introduction to entanglement Jacob Dunningham.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081516/56649db35503460f94aa3acd/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
History
"When two systems, …… enter into temporary physical interaction due to known forces between them, and …… separate again, then they can no longer be described in the same way as before, viz. by endowing each of them with a representative of its own. I would not call that one but rather the characteristic trait of quantum mechanics, the one that enforces its entire departure from classical lines of thought. By the interaction the two representatives [the quantum states]
have become entangled."
Schrödinger (Cambridge Philosophical Society)

Schrödinger coined the term “entanglement” in 1935 (or earlier)

The EPR ‘Paradox’
1935: Einstein, Podolsky, Rosen - QM is not complete
Either:
1. Measurements have nonlocal effects on distant parts of the system.
2. QM is incomplete - some element of physical reality cannot be accounted for by QM - ‘hidden variables’
An entangled pair of particles is sent to Alice and Bob. The spin in measured in the z, x (or any other) direction.
The measurement Alice makes instantaneously affects Bob’s….nonlocality? Hidden variables?

Bell’s theorem and nonlocality
1964: John Bell derived an inequality that must be obeyed if the system has local hidden variables determining the outcomes.
CHSH:
S = |E(a,b) - E(a, b’) + E(a’,b) + E(a’,b’)| <= 2

i.e no local hidden variables
Without local hidden variables, e.g. for Bell states

E(a,b’) = cos = - sin
E(a’,b) = cos = sin
E(a’,b’) = cos

Measures of entanglement
Bipartite mixed states:
• Average over pure state entanglement that makes up the mixture
• Problem: infinitely many decompositions and each leads to a different entanglement
• Solution: Must take minimum over all decompositions (e.g. if a decomposition gives zero, it can be created locally and so is not entangled)

Covalent bonding
Covalent bonding relies on entanglement of the electrons e.g. H2
Lowest energy (bound) configuration
Overall wave function is antisymmetric so the spin part is:
The energy of the bound state is lower than any separable state - witness
Covalent bonding is evidence of entanglement

The energy of the bound state is lower than any separable state - witness

NOTE: It is not at all clear that this entanglement could be used in quantum processing tasks.
You will often hear people distinguish “useful” entanglement from other sorts

Remarkable features of entanglement
• It can give rise to macroscopic effects
• It can occur at finite temperature (i.e. the system need not be in the ground state)
• We do not need to know the state to detect entanglement
• It can occur for a single particle

Tangled ideas in entanglement
1. Entanglement does not depend on how we divide the system
2. A single particle cannot be ‘entangled’
3. Nonlocality and entanglement are the same thing

Entanglement and subsystems
Entanglement depends on what the subsystems are

Single particle entanglement?
“Superposition is the only mystery in quantum mechanics”
What about entanglement?

Single particle entanglement?
“Superposition is the only mystery in quantum mechanics”

Instead of the superposition of a single particle, we can think of the entanglement of two different variables:

Is this all just semantics?
Can we measure any real effect, e.g. violation of Bell’s inequalities?

Single particle entanglement?
Entanglement must be due to the single particle state
Entangled “Bell state”

“The term ‘particle’ survives in modern physics but very little of its classical meaning remains. A particle can now best be defined as the conceptual carrier of a set of variates. . . It is also conceived as the occupant of a state defined by the same set of variates... It might seem desirable to distinguish the ‘mathematical fictions’ from ‘actual particles’; but it is difficult to find any logical basis for such a distinction. ‘Discovering’ a particle means observing certain effects which are accepted as proof of its existence.”
A. S. Eddington, Fundamental Theory, (Cambridge University Press., Cambridge, 1942)pp. 30-31.

We need a field theory treatment of entanglement

Nonlocality and entanglement
Nonlocality implies position distinguishability, which is not necessary for entanglement
Confusion arises because Alice and Bob are normally spatially separated
