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.
