Quantum computation and entanglement

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on the relationship between entanglement in atomic systems and its implications for quantum computation. The participant is exploring how spontaneous emission contributes to entanglement and its utility in quantum computing applications. They highlight that while entanglement is crucial for quantum communication and computation, its practical use is contingent on the capabilities of the quantum computing hardware. The participant references two academic papers that discuss the limitations of entanglement in practical scenarios.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of quantum entanglement principles

Hi everyone
I am working on entanglement between an atomic system and its spontaneous emission but I don't know how to connect this kind of entanglement with quantum computation, I have read in different articles that entanglement is somehow essential in applications like quantum communication & computation,so how is it helpful in quantum computation to entangle atomic system with its spontaneous emission?

I don't know enough about quantum computing hardware to know the answer. However, in general, just because entanglement is present doesn't mean we can use it.

I don't know whether the definition of entanglement is fully settled, but these discussions seem reasonable to me. They give examples of entanglement that we cannot take advantage of if our apparatus is limited.
