Monogamy of quantum entanglement and other correlations
Open accessAbstract
It has been observed by numerous authors that a quantum system being entangled with another one limits its possible entanglement with a third system: this has been dubbed the ``monogamous nature of entanglement.'' In this paper we present a simple identity which captures the trade off between entanglement and classical correlation, which can be used to derive rigorous monogamy relations. We also prove various other trade offs of a monogamy nature for other entanglement measures and secret and total correlation measures.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
