Hello

I am reading Nelson and Chuang's book on Quantum Computation. On pages 26-7 they describe quantum teleportation. I am facing essentially a math problem in going from the expression

\left|\psi_{2}\right> = \frac{1}{2}\left[\alpha(\left|0\right> + \left|1\right>)(\left|00\right> + \left|11\right>) + \beta(\left|0\right> - \left|1\right>)(\left|10\right> + \left|01\right>)\right]

to the expression

\left|\psi_{2}\right> = \frac{1}{2}\left[\left|00\right>(\alpha\left|0\right> + \beta\left|1\right>) + \left|01\right>(\alpha\left|1\right> + \beta\left|0\right>) + \left|10\right>(\alpha\left|0\right> - \beta\left|1\right>) + \left|11\right>(\alpha\left|1\right> - \beta\left|0\right>)\right\]

Would appreciate any help/suggestions to try to tackle this.

Thanks.

PS--It seems to be a regrouping of terms..I guess, but I still can't get it directly :P

hi
this relation is obtained by applying first single qubit Hadamard transformation on Alice's qubit and next two qubit CNOT transformation. you can refer to quantum computing by Mikio Nakahara, chapter 4,page 80, or C. H. Bennett, G. Brassard, C. Crépeau, R. Jozsa, A. Peres, W. K. Wootters, Teleporting an Unknown Quantum State via Dual Classical and Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen Channels, Phys. Rev. Lett. 70, 1895-1899 (1993)

Wow, been a long time..3 years. Thanks :-)
 
Not an expert in QM. AFAIK, Schrödinger's equation is quite different from the classical wave equation. The former is an equation for the dynamics of the state of a (quantum?) system, the latter is an equation for the dynamics of a (classical) degree of freedom. As a matter of fact, Schrödinger's equation is first order in time derivatives, while the classical wave equation is second order. But, AFAIK, Schrödinger's equation is a wave equation; only its interpretation makes it non-classical...

Is it possible, and fruitful, to use certain conceptual and technical tools from effective field theory (coarse-graining/integrating-out, power-counting, matching, RG) to think about the relationship between the fundamental (quantum) and the emergent (classical), both to account for the quasi-autonomy of the classical level and to quantify residual quantum corrections? By “emergent,” I mean the following: after integrating out fast/irrelevant quantum degrees of freedom (high-energy modes...
