Maximal Entanglement: Applications in Quantum Information and Particle Physics

In this PhD thesis, several aspects regarding maximal entanglement are analyzed. In the first chapter, Bell Inequalities are analyzed from an operational perspective as well as novel Bell inequalities are obtained together with their optimal settings …

Multipartite entanglement in spin chains and the Hyperdeterminant

A way to characterize multipartite entanglement in pure states of a spin chain with $n$ sites and local dimension $d$ is by means of the Cayley hyperdeterminant. The latter quantity is a polynomial constructed with the components of the wave function …

Maximal Entanglement in High Energy Physics

We analyze how maximal entanglement is generated at the fundamental level in QED by studying correlations between helicity states in tree-level scattering processes at high energy. We demonstrate that two mechanisms for the generation of maximal …

Operational approach to Bell inequalities: Application to qutrits

In this work we develop two methods to construct Bell inequalities for multipartite systems. By considering non-Hermitian operators we study Bell inequalities for the cases of three settings, three outcomes, and three to six parties. The maximal …
