Abstract

We consider two quantum coherent conductors interacting weakly via long range Coulomb forces. We describe the interaction in terms of two-particle collisions described by a two-particle scattering matrix. As an example we determine the transmission probability and correlations in a two-particle scattering experiment and find that the results can be expressed in terms of the density-of-states matrices of the noninteracting scatterers.

Generation of entangled electron-pairs via a side-coupled interacting quantum dot

Dibyendu Roy

We study two simple mesoscopic models of interacting two electrons; first one consists of two quantum coherent parallel conductors with long-range Coulomb interaction in some localized region and the other is of an interacting quantum dot (QD) side-coupled to a noninteracting quantum wire. We evaluate exact two-particle scattering matrix as well as two-particle current which are relevant in a two-particle scattering experiment in these models. Finally we show that the on-site repulsive interaction in the QD filters out the spin-singlet two-electron state from the mixed two-electron input states in the side-coupled QD model.

Correlation and Entanglement, Scattering through Two Coupled Quantum Dots

Jalal Abdulrahman

In this thesis we theoretically investigate quantum correlations and entanglement of electron scatterers through two coupled quantum dots (QDs). The interaction is described in terms of two-particle collisions modeled by two-particle scattering matrix. The correlation between the two dots is expressed in terms of density-of-states matrices. Wave packets are introduced into each system and for the entanglement measure we use concurrence.

Multiparticle Correlations in Mesoscopic Scattering: Boson Sampling, Birthday Paradox, and Hong-Ou-Mandel Profiles

Juan Diego Urbina, Jack Kuipers, Sho Matsumoto +2 more

The interplay between single-particle interference and quantum indistinguishability leads to signature correlations in many-body scattering. We uncover these with a semiclassical calculation of the transmission probabilities through mesoscopic cavities for systems of noninteracting particles. For chaotic cavities we provide the universal form of the first two moments of the transmission probabilities over ensembles of random unitary matrices, including weak localization and dephasing effects. If the incoming many-body state consists of two macroscopically occupied wave packets, their time delay drives a quantum-classical transition along a boundary determined by the bosonic birthday paradox. Mesoscopic chaotic scattering of Bose-Einstein condensates is, then, a realistic candidate to build a boson sampler and to observe the macroscopic Hong-Ou-Mandel effect.

Quasi-particle entanglement: redefinition of the vacuum and reduced density matrix approach

Peter Samuelsson, Eugene V. Sukhorukov, Μ. Büttiker

A scattering approach to entanglement in mesoscopic conductors with independent fermionic quasi-particles is discussed. We focus on conductors in the tunnelling limit, where a redefinition of the quasi-particle vacuum transforms the wavefunction from a many-body product state of non-interacting particles to a state describing entangled two-particle excitations out of the new vacuum (Samuelsson, Sukhorukov and Büttiker 2003 Phys. Rev. Lett. 91 157002). The approach is illustrated with two examples: (i) a normal–superconducting system, where the transformation is made between Bogoliubov–de Gennes quasi-particles and Cooper pairs, and (ii) a normal system, where the transformation is made between electron quasi-particles and electron–hole pairs. This is compared to a scheme where an effective two-particle state is derived from the manybody scattering state by a reduced density matrix approach.

Reduced and Projected Two-Particle Entanglement at Finite Temperatures

Peter Samuelsson, Izhar Neder, Μ. Büttiker

We present a theory for two-particle entanglement production and detection in mesoscopic conductors at finite temperature. The entanglement of the density matrix projected out of the emitted many-body state differs from the entanglement of the reduced density matrix, detectable by current correlation measurements. Under general conditions reduced entanglement constitutes a witness for projected entanglement. Applied to the recent experiment [Neder et al., Nature (London) 448, 333 (2007)10.1038/nature05955] on a fermionic Hanbury Brown Twiss two-particle interferometer we find that despite an appreciable entanglement production in the experiment, the detectable entanglement is close to zero.

Two-particle scattering in a periodic medium

Yu. P. Chuburin

We consider a two-particle Schrödinger difference operator with a periodic potential perturbed by an exponentially decaying interaction potential for particles on a one-dimensional lattice. We obtain rigorous results for the two-particle scattering problem in the case of a small interaction and low velocities. Here, as in other quasi-one-dimensional models, small interactions can significantly affect the scattering pattern. In particular, we find the probability that the velocities of two particles in a periodic medium (e.g., they can be ultracold atoms in a one-dimensional optical lattice) change their signs during a collision. This probability increases as the relative velocity decreases and also as the absolute value of the matrix element between single-particle unperturbed Bloch states increases.
