111 Tensor product homework (due Thursday, 10/13):

(1) Consider the state |iAB = ( 3/2)|0iA |1iB +(1/2)|1iA |0iB . Write out the density
matrix AB = |iAB h|. What are the reduced density matrices A and B ?
(2) What are the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of A and B for the reduced density matrices
of problem (1)?
(3) Suppose one makes a measurement on A in the |iA basis. What are the probabilities
p for obtaining the results + or ? What is the state of B if one obtains the result +?
What is the state of B if one obtains the result ? (Make sure you present these states in
normalized form.)

(4) Consider the state |iAB = ( 3/2)|0iA |1iB +(1/2)|1iA |+iB . Is this state properly
normalized, i.e., does

AB h|iAB

= 1? What are the reduced density matrices for A and

for B?
(5) What are the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of A and B for the reduced density matrices
of problem (4)?
(6) For the state |iAB , suppose one makes a measurement on A in the |iA basis. What
are the probabilities p for obtaining the results + or ? What is the state of B if one
obtains the result +? What is the state of B if one obtains the result ? (Make sure you
present these states in normalized form.)
