Entanglement question

⚡ Quantum Brief
A Reddit user seeks a non-destructive method to verify if a qubit in Tokyo remains entangled with its partner in London, without classical communication or breaking potential entanglement. The challenge requires local-only operations, as the user lacks access to Alice’s qubit in London or any external communication channels to cross-verify entanglement status. Key constraints include preserving any existing entanglement, ignoring qubit state values, and using only currently available scientific equipment for repeated testing. The scenario assumes a pre-existing Bell pair, but the specific type is irrelevant—only detecting entanglement’s presence matters without measuring or collapsing the system. Solutions must rely solely on local quantum operations, such as entanglement witnesses or non-demolition measurements, to infer entanglement status indirectly.

I have a previously entangled bell pair, the type does not matter for this situation, one half of that pair is in Tokyo (Bob) and the other is in London (Alice). I need a method for checking to see if Bob is entangled or not with the following caveats: The method i use cannot break any entanglement that may or may not still exist I do not care about the values relating to any properties of the entangled particle/qubit I do not have access to any classical methods of communicating with Alice so I cannot check anything in London or anywhere else that is not local to me I do have access to any scientific equipment currently existing The method needs to be able to be performed more than once Thanks in advance submitted by /u/Designer_Idea5498 [link] [comments]
