Weighted Hypergraph States

Definition

Weighted hypergraph states are a theoretical construct in quantum information science, representing quantum states defined on hypergraphs where edges have associated weights. A hypergraph generalizes a graph by allowing edges to connect any number of vertices, and weights can signify interaction strengths or probabilities. These states are relevant in advanced quantum computing and quantum network research, potentially offering new ways to model complex quantum entanglement. Their study aims to advance the understanding of multi-particle quantum correlations.
