Entanglement and Geometry: Deriving Area and Volume from Quantum States.

Entangled quantum states demonstrate a quantifiable relationship with geometric properties. Researchers established a correlation between the area of a 2D parallelogram and a 4-qubit entangled state, extending to the vector area of a 3D parallelogram derived from 6-qubits, and the volume of a 3D parallelepiped from 9-qubits. Corresponding quantum circuits were developed to generate these entangled states, suggesting a potential link between quantum information and the fundamental building blocks of geometry. This establishes a pathway for encoding geometric information within quantum systems.

The fundamental connection between quantum entanglement and geometric properties has long been a subject of theoretical investigation. Recent work demonstrates a quantifiable relationship between multi-qubit entanglement and the area and volume calculation. Researchers at Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana-Cuajimalpa, Juan M. Romero and Emiliano Montoya-González, detail how the area of a two-dimensional parallelogram can be determined from the properties of a four-qubit entangled state. Extending this principle, they show that the vector area of a three-dimensional parallelogram requires six qubits, and the volume of a three-dimensional parallelepiped – a skewed box shape – is deducible from nine entangled qubits. Their findings, published under the title ‘Area and volume from entangled qubits’, also include the corresponding quantum circuit designs to generate these specific entangled states, suggesting a potential pathway towards utilising quantum systems for geometric calculations.
Quantum Entanglement and Geometric Properties

Researchers demonstrate a direct correspondence between entangled quantum states and fundamental geometric properties, establishing a novel connection between the quantum and classical worlds. Specifically, they calculate the area of a two-dimensional parallelogram utilizing the properties of a four-qubit entangled state, extending this principle to determine the vector area of a three-dimensional parallelogram from six entangled qubits and deduce the volume of a three-dimensional parallelepiped from a nine-qubit entangled system. These findings suggest a quantifiable relationship where the degree of entanglement dictates specific geometric dimensions and opens avenues for exploring new computational paradigms.

The presented methodology actively utilizes entangled states as the foundational basis for geometric construction, allowing for a potentially novel approach to geometric computation differing from traditional classical methods. By manipulating and analyzing the entanglement characteristics of these states, precise calculations yield the corresponding areas and volumes, providing a clear mapping between the qubit amplitudes and the vectors that define the parallelogram or parallelepiped. The provision of accompanying Qiskit code facilitates verification of these results and encourages further exploration by allowing readers to independently generate and analyze the described entangled states, strengthening the reproducibility and transparency of the research.
