Question 3 of 5
3. Question
With reference to ‘Quantum entanglement’, consider the following statements
- It is a state where several particles behave like a single unit even when they are separated
- Quantum communication, quantum computation and information processing tasks is possible through entanglement that are impossible for classical systems
- Higher dimensional systems (dimension greater than two) are proven to have advantages in both quantum computing and quantum communications
Choose the correct answer using the code given below
Correct
Solution(d)
Statement Analysis:
Statement 1 Statement 2 Statement 3 Correct Correct Correct Quantum entanglement is a state where several particles behave like a single unit even when they are separated) Entangled state is a crucial state of quantum mechanics and can be used as a resource for quantum communication, quantum computation and information processing tasks that are impossible for classical systems. Higher dimensional systems (dimension greater than two) are proven to have advantages in both quantum computing and quantum communications. Thus experimentally realising higher-dimensional entangled states along with the studies of quantification of the entanglement are of critical importance. Context – Indian scientists find efficient way to quantify quantum entanglement in higher dimensional systems
