We show how the Majorana representation can be used to express the pure states of an N-qubit system as points on the Bloch sphere. We compare this geometrical representation of N-qubit states with an alternative one, proposed recently by the present authors.
A scheme for implementing the discrete-time quantum walk on the Bloch sphere is proposed, which is closely related to the SU(2) group. A spin cluster serves as the walker, whereas its location on the Bloch sphere is described by the spin coherent state. An additional spin that interacts with the spin cluster plays the role of a coin, whose state determines the rotation of the spin cluster. The Wigner function is calculated to visualize the movement of the walker on the Bloch sphere, with which the probability distribution and the standard deviation are also achieved. The quadratic enhancement …
Three unit spheres were used to represent the two-qubit pure states. The three spheres are named the base sphere, entanglement sphere, and fiber sphere. The base sphere and entanglement sphere represent the reduced density matrix of the base qubit and the non-local entanglement measure, concurrence, while the fiber sphere represents the fiber qubit via a simple rotation under a local single-qubit unitary operation; however, in an entangled bipartite state, the fiber sphere has no information on the reduced density matrix of the fiber qubit. When the bipartite state becomes separable, the base …
An arbitrarily dense discretisation of the Bloch sphere of complex Hilbert states is constructed, where points correspond to bit strings of fixed finite length. Number-theoretic properties of trigonometric functions (not part of the quantum-theoretic canon) are used to show that this constructive discretised representation incorporates many of the defining characteristics of quantum systems: completementarity, uncertainty relationships and (with a simple Cartesian product of discretised spheres) entanglement. Unlike Meyer's earlier discretisation of the Bloch Sphere, there are no orthonormal t…
Understanding the evolution of a multi-qubit quantum system, or elucidating what portion of the Hilbert space is occupied by a quantum dataset becomes increasingly hard with the number of qubits. In this context, the visualisation of sets of multi-qubit pure quantum states on a single image can be helpful. However, the current approaches to visualization of this type only allow the representation of a set of single qubits (not allowing multi-qubit systems) or a just a single multi-qubit system (not suitable if we care about sets of states), sometimes with additional restrictions, on symmetry o…

A Bloch-Sphere-Type Model for Two Qubits in the Geometric Algebra of a 6-D Euclidean Vector Space
几何代数是一种数学结构,它是任何度量向量空间所固有的,并且由度量张量由向量乘积的标量部分给出的要求定义。它提供了一个自然的框架,将经典群表示为旋转群的子群,类似地,它们的李代数也是如此。在这篇文章中,我们展示了一个六维实欧几里德向量空间的几何代数如何自然地允许人们在一个两量子比特(量子比特)的希尔伯特空间上构造特殊的酉群,其方式类似于在一个单一量子比特的良好建立的布洛赫球模型中使用的方式。然后用它来说明四维特殊酉群的Cartan分解和子代数,这些分解和子代数最近已被J.Zhang,J.Vala,S。Sastry和K. B. Whaley [Phys. Rev. A 67,042313,2003]研究了两个量子位幺正的纠缠能力。
A Bloch sphere is the geometrical representation of an arbitrary two-dimensional Hilbert space. Possible classes of entanglement and separability for the pure and mixed states on the Bloch sphere were suggested by [M. Boyer, R. Liss, T. Mor, PRA 95, 032308 (2017)]. Here we construct a Bloch sphere for the Hilbert space spanned by one of the ground states of Kitaev's toric code model and one of its closest product states. We prove that this sphere contains only one separable state, thus belonging to the fourth class suggested by the said paper. We furthermore study the topological order of the …
