Then we discuss entanglement as a local object. Particularly we use a spin qutrit, and investigate whether an entangled spin qutrit obeys entanglement criteria or not. While doing this, we also discuss, which criteria of entanglement are essential and which of them are not. We show the relation between quantum fluctuations and entanglement. Lastly, we discuss Bell type inequalities and we show violation of a Bell type condition by a single particle entangled state.ix, 80 leavesEnglishinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessQuantum entanglementBell type inequalitiesentanglement and quantum nonlocalityfoundations of quantum mechanicsquantum informationentanglement measuresQC174.12 .B56 2008Quantum theory.Information theory.Inequalities (Mathematics)Thesis
