Finding the eigenvalues of a qutrit state

Maybe you forgot about the coefficient $\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$. The correct reduced density matrix is $$\frac12 (\left|1\right>\left<1\right| + \left|2\right>\left<2\right|)$$

How do you work out the matrix for controlled-U operations?

$\left|0\right>$ and $\left|1\right>$ don't mean $\begin{pmatrix}0 \\ 0\end{pmatrix}$ and $\begin{pmatrix}1 \\ 1\end{pmatrix}$. In bra-ket notation we usually fix some basis and denote by $\left|a\rig …

How doesn't combining two eigenvectors that have the same eigenvalue for a specific matrix r...

There is no mistake. If you have a $2 \times 2$ matrix with one eigenvalue $\lambda$ and 2 linearly independent eigenvectors, then the whole plane is the eigenspace and the matrix is equal to $\lambda …

Quantum Phase Estimation answers distribution

Doublecheck your inverse QFT circuit. I get a distribution similar to yours if I put QFT instead of its inverse in the second part of the phase estimation algorithm. If the correct inverse QFT is used …

Quantum Cryptography without Bell's Theorem -- Brassard - Bennett - Mermin

Whether the conjugation transposes tensor factors or not, I think, depends on the convention. The authors chose to write a bra in $(\mathcal{V} \otimes \mathcal{A})^*$ as $\left<a\right| \left<u\right …
