Three-uniform edge-ordered hypergraph quantum states: entanglement and its relation to hypergraph properties

Abstract:The encoding of 3-uniform edge-ordered weighted hypergraphs into multiqubit quantum states is proposed. We derive an analytical expression for the geometric measure of entanglement of hypergraph quantum states and establish its relation to hypergraph properties. The results establish a direct connection between the local structure of hypergraphs, hyperedge weights, and the entanglement of the corresponding quantum states. For equally weighted hypergraphs, it is shown that the entanglement depends explicitly on the vertex degree. The dependence of entanglement on hypergraph parameters is studied analytically and using quantum computing. Hypergraph states associated with chain, star, regular lattice, and binary-tree hypergraphs are examined, and their entanglement is quantified using quantum computing. These results open up the possibility of studying hypergraph properties with quantum programming.
