Abstract

We introduce the quantum-house effect, a non-local quantum phenomenon which goes against classical intuition. We show how the effect can be achieved with any bipartite quantum state where neither subsystem is in a pure state. Besides its theoretical description, the quantum-house effect is also demonstrated on SpinQ Gemini, a 2-qubit liquid-state NMR desktop quantum computer.
