Implementation and measurement of quantum entanglement using IBM quantum platforms

Abstract

The use of quantum entanglement has garnered increasing attention among researchers in recent years due to its wide range of applications, not only revolutionizing the field of information processing but also enhancing quantum-safe communications. Identifying the degree of entanglement present in quantum states is a crucial focus, and designing an algorithm capable of feasibly measuring entanglement is imperative. While theoretical calculations hold high regard, the ease of implementing these algorithms in a laboratory setting is essential to gauge their efficiency.In this context, IBM quantum computers stand out as discrete value NISQ (Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum) platforms These platforms are based on superconducting qubits, providing an opportunity to test our algorithms without the need for extravagant laboratory equipment. This paper proposes an algorithm designed to measure entanglement in a bipartite system. We will execute the algorithm on IBM’s 127-qubit backends to compare our calculations with real-world results. Furthermore, we aim to address and mitigate errors inherent in these devices by utilizing local mitigation technique available in the IBM Experiments Python package, aiming for more accurate and reliable outcomes.
