Pairing Correlations and Separability Conditions in Identical Particle Systems

Abstract

Quantum correlations and entanglement in identical-particle systems have been a puzzling question which has attracted vast interest and widely different approaches. A novel approach is introduced by Kraus \emph{et al.}, [Phys. Rev. A \textbf{79}, 012306 (2009)] based on pairing correlations in fermionic systems and the use of witness formalism to detect pairing. In this contribution, this approach has been extended to bosonic systems and separability bounds based on pairing correlations for fermions and bosons have been obtained. A two-particle annihilation operator is used for constructing a two-particle observable as a candidate witness. Two different types of separability definition is introduced for bosonic systems and the separability bounds associated with each type are discussed.

Witnessing pairing correlations in identical-particle systems

Çağan Aksak, S. Turgut

Quantum correlations and entanglement in identical-particle systems have been a puzzling question which has attracted vast interest and widely different approaches. Witness formalism developed first for entanglement measurement can be adopted to other kind of correlations. An approach is introduced by Kraus \emph{et al.}, [Phys. Rev. A \textbf{79}, 012306 (2009)] based on pairing correlations in fermionic systems and the use of witness formalism to detect pairing. In this contribution, a two-particle-annihilation operator is used for constructing a two-particle observable as a candidate witness for pairing correlations of both fermionic and bosonic systems. The corresponding separability bounds are also obtained. Two different types of separability definition are introduced for bosonic systems and the separability bounds associated with each type are discussed.

Entanglement in a two-identical-particle system

Y. S. Li, Bei Zeng, X. S. Liu +1 more

The definition of entanglement in identical-particle system is introduced. The separability criterion in two-identical-particle system is given. The physical meaning of the definition is analyzed. Applications to two-boson and two-fermion systems are made. It is found that some different entanglement and correlation phenomena in identical-boson systems exist, and they may have applications in the field of quantum information.

Quantum correlations are crucial features in both quantum information theory and many-body physics. Characterization and quantification of quantum correlations have delivered a rich body of work and helped to understand some quantum phenomena. Entanglement is a unique quantum correlation for which it is a resource in many quantum information tasks. Developed for quantification of entanglement, entanglement witness formalism is a remarkable tool in the quantum information toolkit. It can be deployed beyond the entanglement theory to quantify quantum correlations in many-body systems. For many-body systems, the particle statistics and indistinguishability are essential. The relation between indistinguishability and entanglement has to be studied carefully. In this thesis, first, a class of witness operators for pairing correlations in both fermionic and bosonic systems have been proposed and the necessary and sufficient conditions for being a witness operator are found. Then, a Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt type test and its bounds for fermions have been demonstrated.

Quantum entanglement for systems of identical bosons: I. General features

Bryan J. Dalton, John Goold, B. M. Garraway +1 more

Abstract These two accompanying papers are concerned with two mode entanglement for systems of identical massive bosons and the relationship to spin squeezing and other quantum correlation effects. Entanglement is a key quantum feature of composite systems in which the probabilities for joint measurements on the composite sub-systems are no longer determined from measurement probabilities on the separate sub-systems. There are many aspects of entanglement that can be studied. This two-part review focuses on the meaning of entanglement, the quantum paradoxes associated with entangled states, and the important tests that allow an experimentalist to determine whether a quantum state—in particular, one for massive bosons is entangled. An overall outcome of the review is to distinguish criteria (and hence experiments) for entanglement that fully utilize the symmetrization principle and the super-selection rules that can be applied to bosonic massive particles. In the first paper (I), the background is given for the meaning of entanglement in the context of systems of identical particles. For such systems, the requirement is that the relevant quantum density operators must satisfy the symmetrization principle and that global and local super-selection rules prohibit states in which there are coherences between differing particle numbers. The justification for these requirements is fully discussed. In the second quantization approach that is used, both the system and the sub-systems are modes (or sets of modes) rather than particles, particles being associated with different occupancies of the modes. The definition of entangled states is based on first defining the non-entangled states—after specifying which modes constitute the sub-systems. This work mainly focuses on the two mode entanglement for massive bosons, but is put in the context of tests of local hidden variable theories, where one may not be able to make the above restrictions. The review provides the detailed arguments necessary for the conclusions of a recent paper, where the question of how to rigorously demonstrate the entanglement of a two-mode Bose–Einstein condensate (BEC) has been examined. In the accompanying review paper (II), we consider spin squeezing and other tests for entanglement that have been proposed for two-mode bosonic systems. We apply the approach of review (I) to determine which tests, and which modifications of the tests, are useful for detecting entanglement in massive bosonic (BEC), as opposed to photonic, systems. Several new inequalities are derived, a theory for the required two-mode interferometry is presented, and key experiments to date are analyzed.

Entanglement and algebraic independence in fermion systems

Fabio Benatti, Roberto Floreanini B

In the case of systems composed of identical particles, a typical instance in quantum statistical mechanics, the standard approach to separability and entanglement ought to be reformulated and rephrased in terms of correlations between operators from subalgebras localized in spatially disjoint regions. While this algebraic approach is straightforward for bosons, in the case of fermions it is subtler since one has to distinguish between micro-causality, that is the anti-commutativity of the basic creation and annihilation operators, and algebraic independence that is the commutativity of local observables. We argue that a consistent algebraic formulation of separability and entanglement should be compatible with micro-causality rather than with algebraic independence.
