The Yang-Baxter equation, Quantum computing and Quantum entanglement

Abstract: Let

V

and

V^{'}

be vector spaces over the same field with

o p e r a t o r n a m e d i m (V) = n

and

o p e r a t o r n a m e d i m (V^{'}) = m

. Let

c : V o t i m e s V i g h t a r r o w V o t i m e s V

and

d : V^{'} o t i m e s V^{'} i g h t a r r o w V^{'} o t i m e s V^{'}

be solutions of the Yang-Baxter equation. We show that the Tracy-Singh (or block Kronecker) product of the matrices

c

and

d

with a particular partition into blocks of

c

and

d

is the representing matrix of a solution of the Yang-Baxter equation,

i l d e c_{d} : m a t h c a l W o t i m e s m a t h c a l W i g h t a r r o w m a t h c a l W o t i m e s m a t h c a l W

, with

o p e r a t o r n a m e d i m (m a t h c a l W) = n m

. Iteratively, it is possible to construct from

c

and

d

an infinite family of solutions of the Yang-Baxter equation.
