W state

Index W state

The W state is an entangled quantum state of three qubits which has the following shape and which is remarkable for representing a specific type of multipartite entanglement and for occurring in several applications in quantum information theory. [1]

Bell's theorem

Bell's theorem is a "no-go theorem" that draws an important distinction between quantum mechanics and the world as described by classical mechanics.

Greenberger–Horne–Zeilinger state

In physics, in the area of quantum information theory, a Greenberger–Horne–Zeilinger state is a certain type of entangled quantum state that involves at least three subsystems (particles).

LOCC

LOCC, or local operations and classical communication, is a method in quantum information theory where a local (product) operation is performed on part of the system, and where the result of that operation is "communicated" classically to another part where usually another local operation is performed.

Multipartite entanglement

In the case of systems composed of m > 2 subsystems the classification of entangled states is richer than in the bipartite case.

Product state

In quantum mechanics, a product state, or simply separable state, is a special type of separable state in which there are neither classical nor quantum correlations.

Quantum entanglement

Quantum entanglement is a physical phenomenon which occurs when pairs or groups of particles are generated, interact, or share spatial proximity in ways such that the quantum state of each particle cannot be described independently of the state of the other(s), even when the particles are separated by a large distance—instead, a quantum state must be described for the system as a whole.

Quantum information

In physics and computer science, quantum information is information that is held in the state of a quantum system.

Quantum state

In quantum physics, quantum state refers to the state of an isolated quantum system.

Qubit

In quantum computing, a qubit or quantum bit (sometimes qbit) is a unit of quantum information—the quantum analogue of the classical binary bit.
