Tunable entanglement resource in elastic electron-exchange collisions out of chaotic spin systems

Birgit Lohmann, Karl Blum, B. Langer

Elastic collisions between initially unpolarized electrons and hydrogenlike atoms are discussed aiming to analyze the entanglement properties of the correlated final spin system. Explicit spin-dependent interactions are neglected and electron exchange only is taken into account. We show the final spin system to be completely characterized by a single spin correlation parameter depending on scattering angle and energy. Its numerical value identifies the final spins of the collision partners to be either in the separable, entangled, or Bell correlated regions. The symmetry of the scattering process allows for the construction of explicit examples applying methods of classical communication and local operations for illustrating the concepts of nonlocality versus separability. It is shown that strong correlations can be produced violating Bell's inequalities significantly. Furthermore, the degree of entanglement can be continuously varied simply by changing either the scattering angle and/or energy. This allows for the generation of tunable spin pairs with any desired degree of entanglement. It is suggested to use such nonlocally entangled spin pairs as a resource for further experiments, for example in quantum information processes.

Quantum Entanglement in the Nonrelativistic Collision Between Two Identical Fermions with Spin 1/2

Konstantin Alekseevich Kouzakov

In the framework of nonstationary scattering theory, we study the formation of an entangled state of two identical nonrelativistic spin- 1/2 particles as a result of their elastic scattering. The measure of particle entanglement in the final channel is described using pair concurrence. For the indicated quantitative criterion, we obtain general expressions in terms of the direct and exchange scattering amplitudes in the cases of pure and mixed spin states of the pair in the initial channel. We consider the violation of Bell’s inequality in the final channel. We show that as a result of a collision between unpolarized particles, a Werner spin state of the pair forms, which is entangled if the singlet component of the angular differential scattering cross section in the center-of-mass reference frame exceeds the triplet component. We use the process of free electron-electron scattering as an example to illustrate the developed formalism.

Entanglement and Bell Correlation in Electron-Exchange Collisions

Karl Blum, Birgit Lohmann

Elastic collisions between initially unpolarized electrons and hydrogenlike atoms are discussed, aiming to analyze the entanglement properties of the correlated final spin system. Explicit spin-dependent interactions are neglected and electron exchange only is taken into account. We show the final spin system to be completely characterized by a single spin correlation parameter depending on scattering angle and energy. Its numerical value identifies the final spins of the collision partners to be either in the separable, entangled, or Bell correlated regions. We emphasize explicit examples for the mixed spin system in order to illustrate the abstract concepts. The analysis of published experimental and numerical data reveals the possibility to create tunable pairs of collision partners with any desired degree of spin entanglement.
