SUMMARY
The key differences between Schmidt Decomposition and Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) lie in their applications and mathematical formulations. Schmidt Decomposition is specifically used in quantum mechanics to express bipartite quantum states, while SVD is a linear algebra technique applicable to any matrix for dimensionality reduction. The discussion highlights the use of Schmidt Decomposition for states like |\psi>_{AB} = const( |0>_A|0>_B + |1>_A|1>_B) + const( |0>_A|1>_B + |1>_A|0>_B), emphasizing its relevance in quantum state analysis.
