(x) ... X (x) ... I (x) ... I: k-fold tensor with X in the ith slot. ---------------------------------------------------------------- (!!!) Entangled simply means non-simple (indecomposable) tensor. :) Unitary = norm-preserving (prb 1 maps to prb 1) and linear. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Measurement (along with X) for state preparation of *input*. Measurement as *output*. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Nothing here about time evolution of states -- ?!?
