Speed of quantum evolution of entangled two qubits states: Local vs. global evolution
Sergio Curilef, Claudia Zander, Angel Ricardo Plastino · Journal of Physics Conference Series · 2008
There is a lower bound for the 'speed' of quantum evolution as measured by the time needed to reach an orthogonal state. We show that, for two-qubits systems, states saturating the quantum speed limit tend to exhibit a small amount of local evolution, as measured by the fidelity between the initial and final single qubit states after the time τ required by the composite system to reach an orthogonal state. Consequently, a trade-off between the speed of global evolution and the amount of local evolution seems to be at work.
