The operator of the composite system given the operator of the single system

Define the operator on a qudit system as \begin{align} o &= \sum_{s, s^\prime=1}^d o_{s,s^\prime}\vert s\rangle\langle s \vert \otimes \vert s^\prime\rangle \langle s^\prime \vert. \tag{1} \end{...

qudits vs bipartite system states [duplicate]

Suppose we have a bipartite system of two qubits. It will form a 4d hilbert space. Also, suppose I have just one quantum system and it is a 4-level system. It will also form a 4d Hilbert space. What ...

Are there qudit systems and why they are not as popular?

Qudit is a $d$-level system that generalizes a qubit. From what I understood qudits are more resource efficient when it comes to spanning the state space. If $N$ is a dimension of a state space, then ...
