ENTANGLEMENT

Witnessing

in hybrid systems

“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.”

Entanglement is a resource

?NP hard

ENTANGLEMENT

Witnessing

Hermitian operator

detects entanglement of if

for any separable state

3 Examples

2 criteria

C2 Use of local measurements

Assumption on the form of the microscopic Hamiltonian and/or the Hilbert space of the system
