Abstract
It has been recently pointed out [V. Giovannetti, S. Lloyd, and L. Maccone, Europhys. Lett. 62, 615 (2003)] that, for certain classes of states, quantum entanglement enhances the “speed” of evolution of composite quantum systems, as measured by the time a given initial state requires to evolve to an orthogonal state. We provide here a systematic study of this effect for pure states of bipartite systems of low dimensionality, considering both distinguishable (two-qubits) subsystems, and systems constituted of two indistinguishable particles.
