Quantum Computing 3.3 -- Correlated measurements

Two qubits, both starting in the initial state 0 |0 \rangle , are subjected to the following quantum operations:

What is the probability of getting the same result in both measurements?

In this case the qubit pair assumes the state 00 |00\rangle or 11 |11\rangle .

Details: The gate G G acts only on the first qubit and is described in the base { 0 , 1 } \{| 0 \rangle, | 1 \rangle \} by the matrix: G = 1 2 ( 3 1 1 3 ) G = \frac{1}{2} \left( \begin{array}{cc} \sqrt{3} & 1\\ 1 & -\sqrt{3} \end{array} \right) The second operation is the CNOT (Controlled NOT) gate, which links both qubits together. In this case, the second qubit is subjected to an NOT operation if the first qubit is in the state 1 | 1 \rangle . Otherwise, the second qubit is not changed.

We apply the operations G I G \otimes I , CNOT and G I G \otimes I one after the other to the state 00 | 00 \rangle : ψ = ( G I ) CNOT ( G I ) 00 = ( G I ) CNOT ( G 0 ) 0 = ( G I ) CNOT ( 3 2 00 + 1 2 10 ) = ( G I ) ( 3 2 00 + 1 2 11 ) = ( 3 2 ( G 0 ) 0 + 1 2 ( G 1 ) 1 ) = ( 3 2 ( 3 2 00 + 1 2 10 ) + 1 2 ( 1 2 01 3 2 11 ) ) = 3 4 00 + 1 4 01 + 3 4 10 3 4 11 \begin{aligned} |\psi\rangle &= (G \otimes I)\cdot \text{CNOT} \cdot (G \otimes I) |00\rangle \\ &= (G \otimes I)\cdot \text{CNOT} (G|0\rangle) \otimes |0\rangle\\ &= (G \otimes I)\cdot \text{CNOT} \left(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} |00\rangle + \frac{1}{2} |10\rangle\right) \\ &= (G \otimes I) \left(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} |00 \rangle + \frac{1}{2} |11 \rangle \right) \\ &= \left(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} (G |0\rangle) \otimes 0 \rangle + \frac{1}{2}(G |1\rangle) \otimes |1 \rangle \right) \\ &= \left(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\left(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} |00\rangle + \frac{1}{2} |10\rangle\right) + \frac{1}{2} \left(\frac{1}{2} |01\rangle - \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} |11\rangle\right) \right) \\ &= \frac{3}{4} |00\rangle + \frac{1}{4} |01\rangle + \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4} |10\rangle - \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4} |11\rangle \end{aligned} The probability p p of obtaining the result 00 | 00 \rangle or 11 | 11 \rangle during the measurement results accordingly p = 00 ψ 2 + 11 ψ 2 = ( 3 4 ) 2 + ( 3 4 ) 2 = 9 + 3 16 = 3 4 = 75 % \begin{aligned} p &= |\langle 00 |\psi\rangle |^2 + |\langle 11 |\psi\rangle |^2 \\ &= \left( \frac{3}{4} \right)^2 + \left(- \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4} \right)^2 \\ &= \frac{9 + 3}{16} = \frac{3}{4} = 75\,\% \end{aligned} Thus, the states of the two qubits are correlated. In contrast to the Bell states, however, there is only a partial entanglement.
