Some explorations of linear algebra

Abstract

It is a fundamental problem in quantum information whether a particular quantum state of a composite system is entangled. It has enormous potential in quantum error correction, quantum cryptography, and quantum teleportation applications. This problem can be transferred in the form of a mathematical conjecture in language of linear algebra. In this paper, the authors explain the important applications, convenience, efficiency of using linear algebra in math physics, and computer science. The authors give some examples of linear algebra used in various areas, including datum coordinate system finding a location, encryption and decryption algorithm, storage of images, classical mechanics, and quantum physics. The authors list the definition of the matrix, real matrix, complex matrix, diagonal matrix, identity matrix, scalar matrix, trace, rank, and determinants of matrices. The authors explored Laplace expansion, transpose, inverse, conjugate of a matrix and addition, multiplication between matrices and between a scalar and a matrix, Kronecker product and their properties of matrices, the definitions and solving method of eigenvalue and eigenvector, and the diagonalisation and its conditions of matrices. The authors introduce the applications of matrix transformations and operations in programs. The authors explain two encryption and decryption algorithms based on linear algebra and their strengths and weaknesses.
