Hi,
I am learning quantum entanglement. I am interested to create an up to date list of all known :

- Photon Quantum States
- Particle Quantum States
- Classically entagled photon states

I guess that there is an organization out there that already have this info.
If someone can point me into a link I'd appreciate it.

Once I have the list I'll be able to go over each one to better understand it.

Alternatively, I'd appreciate if people can respond with the states and I'll create my own list.

Thanks for the help!
Adam

This is much too broad a topic for a PF thread, not to mention that your request is an impossible task in any case. The possible states of a quantum system depend on what kind of experiments you are doing and what kinds of interactions are present. There is no such thing as a single list of all such states.

If you are interested in experiments involving entanglement the best place to start is probably experiments in quantum computing.

Hi Peter,

Is it reasonable to ask about the different categories of states such as spin, angular momentum, polarization, energy level... are there other major categories?

Thanks!

This still doesn't make any sense, because you're asking if there is such a thing as a listing of all observables! That is like asking for how many things we can measure or detect.

Zz.
 
OK then, I will contribute momentum and position.
 
What are the complete list of quantum Observables besides charge, position and momentum?
 
I am not sure if this belongs in the biology section, but it appears more of a quantum physics question. Mike Wiest, Associate Professor of Neuroscience at Wellesley College in the US. In 2024 he published the results of an experiment on anaesthesia which purported to point to a role of quantum processes in consciousness; here is a popular exposition: https://neurosciencenews.com/quantum-process-consciousness-27624/ As my expertise in neuroscience doesn't reach up to an ant's ear...

I am reading WHAT IS A QUANTUM FIELD THEORY?" A First Introduction for Mathematicians. The author states (2.4 Finite versus Continuous Models) that the use of continuity causes the infinities in QFT: 'Mathematicians are trained to think of physical space as R3. But our continuous model of physical space as R3 is of course an idealization, both at the scale of the very large and at the scale of the very small. This idealization has proved to be very powerful, but in the case of Quantum...
