Quantum Mechanics and Applications

We implement a protocol to determine the degree of entanglement between a qubit and the rest of the system on a quantum computer. The protocol is based on results obtained in paper [Frydryszak et al. (2017)]. This protocol is tested on a 5-qubit superconducting quantum processor called ibmq-ourense provided by the IBM company. We determine the values of entanglement of the Schr\"odinger cat and the Werner states prepared on this device and compare them with the theoretical ones. In addition, a protocol for determining the entanglement of rank-2 mixed states is proposed. We apply this protocol to the mixed state which consists of two Bell states prepared on the ibmq-ourense quantum device.
