The discussion centers around the concept of energy entanglement in quantum mechanics, exploring whether two particles can be entangled based on their energy properties. Participants consider theoretical frameworks, potential experiments, and the implications of energy conservation in entanglement generation.
Participants express multiple competing views regarding the definition and implications of energy entanglement, with no consensus reached on the nature of entangled states or the mechanisms behind entanglement.
Some discussions highlight limitations in understanding the physical mechanisms of entanglement, the dependence on definitions, and the complexities of mathematical representations without resolving these issues.
Term "partial entanglement" is already taken. It refers to state vector ##|\psi\rangle=a|00\rangle+b|11\rangle## where |a| and |b| are different.Zafa Pi said:I would like to propose the following: If a state |ζ⟩ representing multiple particles can't be factored it is fully entangled. If |ζ⟩ can be factored (to lowest terms) but one of its factors also represents multiple particles but it can't be factored then we say |ζ⟩ is partially entangled. We say |ζ⟩ is entangled if it is either fully or partially entangled.
Too bad for me. But good looking out. How about sortta entangled?zonde said:Term "partial entanglement" is already taken. It refers to state vector ##|\psi\rangle=a|00\rangle+b|11\rangle## where |a| and |b| are different.
Given what we've been discussing I am pretty sure you're right. But at the time I read it, it wasn't clear to me at all.Demystifier said:I am pretty sure that N&C would say that it consists of two disctinct physical systems.
