Homework Statement


In a quantum information setting:

I'm trying to find a circuit to construct the state

\frac1{\sqrt3} \left( |00\rangle + |01\rangle + |11 \rangle \right)

The Attempt at a Solution


This state is entangled, and so I've been playing with different input states to try and create this using the Bell EPR circuit. This hasn't worked so far, so if anyone has a better idea it would be much appreciated.

Now I don't know much about quantum computing, but if you have three terms in the state, don't you need three components to build that state? And doesn't the Bell circuit only have two components?
 
The problem for me lies precisely in the fact that there's three components in the super-position. If the Bell circuit took three inputs though, we would have a superposition on three qubits rather than just two. Also, the Bell-circuit seemingly will only entangle for two components, since it's possible to create a four-component state but I don't think it's entangled.
 
Thread 'Need help understanding this figure on energy levels'
This figure is from "Introduction to Quantum Mechanics" by Griffiths (3rd edition). It is available to download. It is from page 142. I am hoping the usual people on this site will give me a hand understanding what is going on in the figure. After the equation (4.50) it says "It is customary to introduce the principal quantum number, ##n##, which simply orders the allowed energies, starting with 1 for the ground state. (see the figure)" I still don't understand the figure :( Here is...

The last problem I posted on QM made it into advanced homework help, that is why I am putting it here. I am sorry for any hassle imposed on the moderators by myself. Part (a) is quite easy. We get $$\sigma_1 = 2\lambda, \mathbf{v}_1 = \begin{pmatrix} 0 \\ 0 \\ 1 \end{pmatrix} \sigma_2 = \lambda, \mathbf{v}_2 = \begin{pmatrix} 1/\sqrt{2} \\ 1/\sqrt{2} \\ 0 \end{pmatrix} \sigma_3 = -\lambda, \mathbf{v}_3 = \begin{pmatrix} 1/\sqrt{2} \\ -1/\sqrt{2} \\ 0 \end{pmatrix} $$ There are two ways...
