Term of Tripartite: Explaining Three Qubit System & Entanglement

[munirah]

Good day,

I get confuse about the term used.

Can anyone help me to explain:

1. Tripartite system.
2. Three qubit system.
3. Tripartite entanglement.

I really need help for me clarify these term.

Thank you very much for helping me.

Tripartite just means composed of 3 parts. A 3 qubit system is composed of three parts.

Some examples are:

The 3-body problem in physics is an example of a tripartite system.

and

Here's an article on the tripartite entanglement:
