Evidence of the entanglement constraint on wave-particle duality using the IBM Q quantum computer
Abstract
We experimentally verify the link existing between entanglement and the amount of wave-particle duality in a bipartite quantum system with superconducting qubits in the IBM Q quantum computer. We consider both pure and mixed states, and study the influence of state purity on the observation of the complementarity triality relation of Jakob and Bergou [arXiv:quant-ph/0302075; Opt. Commun. 283, 827 (2010)]. This work confirms the quantitative completion of local Bohr s complementarity principle by the nonlocal quantum entanglement typical of a truly bipartite quantum system.
