We determine the minimum set of observables which are necessary for the complete reconstruction of the most correlated states of systems composed of spins-1/2 (e.g., the Bell and the Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger states). We investigate to what extent an incomplete measurement can reveal nonclassical features of correlated spin states.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "1997-01-30T19:08:26.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "maximum entropy", "jaynes principle", "spin systems", "quantum states", "correlated spin states" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "doi": "10.1080/09500349708231905", "journal": "Journal of Modern Optics", "year": 1997, "month": "Nov", "volume": 44, "number": 11, "pages": 2607 }, "note": { "typesetting": "RevTeX", "pages": 14, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 428475, "adsabs": "1997JMOp...44.2607B" } } }
