Abstract It has been argued that Humean Supervenience (HS) is threatened by the existence of quantum entanglement relations. The most conservative strategy for defending HS is to add the problematic entanglement relations to the supervenience basis, alongside spatiotemporal relations. In this paper, I’m going to argue against this strategy by showing how certain particular cases of tripartite entanglement states – i.e. GHZ states – posit some crucial problems for this amended version of HS. Moreover, I will show that the principle of free recombination – which is strictly linked to HS – is severely undermined if we add entanglement relations to the supervenience basis. I conclude that the conservative move is very unappealing, and therefore the defender of HS should pursue other, more controversial, strategies (e.g. committing to the nomological interpretation of the wave function).

We present scientific basis of Kapil-Neha Total Internal Reflection Quantum Mechanical Projection Wave function Ψ Technique (KANEHA-TIR-Ψ Projective Technique). KANEHA-TIR-Ψ projective technique uses an integrated computing approach of quantum entanglement for brain’s functioning, programming, training and development. This technique simultaneously stimulates and applies forces/correlations on trillions of elements of fine neural networks of different sections of human brain. As a result, those elements process/entangle/correlate information among each other by ‘intensified and integrated quantum-mechanical evanescent wave tunnelling of their neuro-energy wave function potentials into neighbouring neurons and cerebrospinal fluid. This technique is so powerful that under healthy environmental conditions – it can even regenerate/repair brain’s undeveloped/damaged neuron fine tissues/ neural-network. Experiments suggest that under suitable conditions of quantum-growth, KANEHA-TIR-Ψ projective technique has shown neurogenesis ‘possible’ even in adulthood age. KANEHA-TIR-Ψ projective technique is a revolutionary invention in the field of quantum-biophysics, mental-assessment, clinical-diagnosis, quantum-entanglement, quantum super-computing, neurogenesis, and non-destructive medical surgeries. It also provides ‘firm-evidences’ about quantum computing nature of human brain using electromagnetic wave signals.

Braiding operators can be used to create entangled states out of product states, thus establishing a correspondence between topological and quantum entanglement. This is well-known for maximally entangled Bell and GHZ states and their equivalent states under Stochastic Local Operations and Classical Communication, but so far a similar result for W states was missing. Here we use generators of extraspecial 2-groups to obtain the W state in a four-qubit space and partition algebras to generate the W state in a three-qubit space. We also present a unitary generalized Yang-Baxter operator that embeds the W_n state in a (2n-1)-qubit space.

The postulates presented at this point are generally agreed upon as being the primary set. But in the course of these postulates, there is no mention of the consequences of measurement. This chapter discusses this problem and the solution as provided by the Von-Neumann postulate. The concept of the projection operator is introduced, and this leads naturally to the study of the quantum entangled state. The results show in part the origin of the struggle that Einstein and others had with quantum, and the Einstein, Podolsky, and Rosen (EPR) paradox. Quantum entanglement is the key to advanced ideas in quantum encryption, teleportation, and quantum computing.

In quantum mechanics, entangled states are not exotic or rare. Rather, entanglement is the norm and so the metaphysical consequences of entanglement are a central issue for anyone wishing to provide an ontological interpretation of the various formulations of quantum mechanics. This chapter presents the argument for wave function realism from quantum entanglement, which says that wave function realism is necessary if one wants an ontological interpretation that does not conflate distinct quantum states. It explains quantum entanglement and how postulating a wave function in higher dimensions can help to metaphysically ground the phenomenon. The chapter ultimately concludes that the argument from quantum entanglement fails as there are several rival positions that can also explain quantum entanglement and recover the distinctions between different entangled states. These include the primitive ontology approach, various other holisms, ontic structural realism, spacetime state realism, and the multi-field approach.

Abstract We investigate robustness of bipartite and tripartite entangled states for fermionic systems in non-inertial frames, which are under noisy channels. We consider two Bell states and two Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (GHZ) states, which possess initially the same amount of entanglement, respectively. By using genuine multipartite (GM) concurrence, we analytically derive the equations that determine the difference between the robustness of these locally unitarily equivalent states under the amplitude-damping channel. We find that tendency of the robustness for two GHZ states evaluated by using three-tangle τ and GM concurrence as measures of genuine tripartite entanglement is equal to each other. We also find that the robustness of two Bell states is equal to each other under the depolarizing, phase damping and bit flip channels, and that the same is true for two GHZ states.
