In this paper, the feedback-induced interaction dynamics between a pair of quantum systems is analyzed. It is pointed out that any interaction Hamiltonian can be simulated by local feedback if the levels of decoherence are sufficiently high. The boundary between genuine entanglement generating quantum interactions and non-entangling classical interactions is identified and the nature of the information exchange between two quantum systems during an interaction is discussed.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2005-06-01T00:57:24.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "interaction hamiltonian", "information exchange", "quantum feedback", "coupled systems", "quantum systems" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "journal": "Journal of Optics B: Quantum and Semiclassical Optics", "year": 2005, "month": "Oct", "volume": 7, "number": 10 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 14, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2005JOptB...7S.208H" } } }
