Could someone write a better introduction for this article? The current version is meaningless to a reader who lacks prior expertise in the subject. Durova 01:56, 1 December 2005 (UTC)
If I understand you correctly, you want someone to explain what separable states are to someone with no knowledge of quantum informatics? Putting the horse before the carriage, if you ask me. Vegalabs 15:11, 20 December 2005 (EST)
[edit] Serparability problem
Is the separability problem in quantum mechanics identical to the Grobner basis problem in algebraic geometry? The idea is that the subspaces of the Segre embedding are linear subspaces, and Buchberger's algorithm is used to find those subspaces. Right? Or maybe I'm crazy. linas 21:32, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
- linas, i think you might be referring application of projective algebraic geometry to find subspaces that are not completely entangled. i believe the result is that any subspace of a certain dimension would fail to be completely entangled. this is related to the range criterion. it is a necessary condition for separability, not sufficient. a problem that is equivalent to the separability problem is the classification of positive maps.
