SUMMARY
The discussion focuses on the Schmidt decomposition and its application in determining the entanglement of quantum states. The user seeks clarification on representing a state as a matrix to apply Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) and extract Schmidt coefficients. The specific exercise involves mapping from ##\mathbb{C}^2\otimes\mathbb{C}^3## to ##\mathbb{C}^6##, highlighting the presence of 36 unspecified constants, ##\alpha_{i k m}##, which complicates the problem. The user questions the completeness of the problem statement due to the numerous possibilities for these constants.
