Constructing wavefunction for a mixed state

This question is somehow the reverse of another question. If a quantum system $S$ is in a pure state, then we can find a wavefunction that describes $S$. This wavefunction is unique up to a phase ...

Does spin entanglement imply position entanglement?

My question is whether two electrons can be entangled only with respect to their spins but not with respect to some other observable, such as position. I initially believed that spin-entanglement ...

If 2 electrons are entangled $[a] [b]$. if we throw a photon at $-[a]$ will it come out of $[b]-$? [closed]

i was confused as to what will happen when two electrons which are entangled and then if one is exposed to light. will the absorption and emission theory still work and if so how will it work in this ...

Which Hamiltonians turn disentangled states into entangled ones?

I have been solving example oral-exam questions about quantum mechanics, and I am stuck on the last question: "Describe the spin space for $N$ particles of spin 1/2. Give an example of an ...

Can experiment distinguish the basis in which a singlet state is represented?

Let $\left(|\uparrow\rangle,|\downarrow\rangle\right)$ and $\left(|\nearrow\rangle,|\swarrow\rangle\right)$ be two bases of the $2$-dimensional Hilbert space $H$. Can an experiment distinguish ...

What Shannon channel capacity bound is associated to two coupled spins?

The question asked is: What is the Shannon channel capacity $C$ that is naturally associated to the two-spin quantum Hamiltonian $H = \boldsymbol{L\cdot S}$? This question arises with a view ...
