Formerly this was true of ep and bob, but now it is true for all three qubits forming a three qubit entangled group. Connectivity defines which pairs of qubits can be entangled in a quantum computer. Unlike the twoqubit case, where all maximally entangled twoqubit states are equivalent up to local changes of basis, three qubits can be entangled in two. The w state can retain bipartite entanglement when any one of the three qubits is measured in the s. Flux qubits and transmons, and their variants, are currently favoured in industrial efforts to build a quantum computer. In quantum computing, you can modify the probabilities of values being read. There have been a lot of announcements recently regarding new chips or new simulators that contain a record number of qubits. The protocols discussed in the paper require only three particles in linear optical setups with equal.
Materials development will be key to improving optically gated semiconducting qubits. I know that 2 qubits are entangled if it is impossible to represent their joint state as a tensor product. So entanglement is not directly related to quantum registers.
