More recently, complementarity has become a \\emph{quantitative} relation between classically incompatible properties, such as visibility of interference fringes and \"which-way\" information, but also between purely quantum mechanical properties, such as measures of entanglement. We discuss different complementarity relations for systems of 2-, 3-, or \\textit{n} qubits. Using nuclear magnetic resonance techniques, we have experimentally verified some of these complementarity relations in a two-qubit system.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2005-07-20T11:46:40.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "multi-qubit systems", "quantification", "nuclear magnetic resonance techniques", "complementarity relations", "two-qubit system" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
