Abstract

For two parties, Alice (\(A\)) and Bob (\(B\)), the state of the total quantum system can have product form: \(\left| \Psi \right. \rangle =\left| a\right. \rangle \otimes \left| b\right. \rangle \!,\) where the states \(\left| a\right. \rangle \) and \(\left| b\right. \rangle \) are elements of the corresponding local Hilbert spaces \(\mathcal{H}_{A}\) and \(\mathcal{H}_{B}\).

Notes

  1. 1.

    Sometimes we write \(\left| a\right. \rangle \left| b\right. \rangle \) or \(\left| ab\right. \rangle \) instead of \(\left| a\right. \rangle \otimes \left| b\right. \rangle \).

  2. 2.

    See also [4] for a formal definition.
