Absence of Entanglement in Black Body Radiation

Jae Weon Lee, Sangchul Oh, Jaewan Kim

Published Oct 18, 2005• 0 citations
OpenAlex

Abstract

Using temperature Green's function approach we investigate classical correlation and entanglement of two particles in non-interacting thermal boson systems, especially in the black body radiation. The two-spin density matrix for fixed distance is given by the generalized Werner state. Contrary to the fermion case the entanglement is absent in the spin density matrix. This result is applicable to reveal the nature of astronomical objects using an Aspect-type Bell inequality violation experiment.

Entanglement of electron spins of noninteracting electron gases

Sangchul Oh, Jaewan Kim

We study entanglement of electron spins in many-body systems based on the Green's function approach. As an application we obtain the two-particle density matrix of a noninteracting electron gas and identify its two-spin density matrix as a Werner state. We calculate entanglement measures, a classical correlation, mutual information, and a pair-distribution function of two electrons at zero and finite temperatures. We find that changes of entanglement measures are proportional to ${T}^{2}$ at low temperatures.

Entanglement in The Second Quantization Formalism

Vlatko Vedral

We study properties of entangled systems in the (mainly non-relativistic) second quantization formalism. This is then applied to interacting and non-interacting bosons and fermions and the differences between the two are discussed. We present a general formalism to show how entanglement changes with the change of modes of the system. This is illustrated with examples such as the Bose condensation and the Unruh effect. It is then shown that a non-interacting collection of fermions at zero temperature can be entangled in spin providing that their distances do not exceed the inverse Fermi wavenumber. Beyond this distance all bipartite entanglement vanishes, although classical correlations still persist. We compute the entanglement of formation as well as the mutual information for two spin-correlated electrons as a function of their distance. The analogous non-interacting collection of bosons displays no entanglement in the internal degrees of freedom. We show how to generalize our analysis of the entanglement in the internal degrees of freedom to an arbitrary number of particles.

Fermionic entanglement and quantum correlation measures in molecules

J. Garcia, J. A. Cianciulli, R. Rossignoli

We analyze fermionic entanglement and correlation measures in the ground and the low temperature thermal state of the water molecule as a function of the internuclear distance in the context of the full configuration interaction approach. The aim is to obtain a general entanglement based characterization of the electronic eigenstates. We consider first the spin-up - spin-down partition and the associated Schmidt decomposition, examining the total up-down entanglement of the electronic wave function. We then consider the one- and two-body entanglement derived from the one- and two-body reduced density matrices (DMs), which measure both the deviation of the state from a Slater Determinant (SD) as well as the up-down correlation at the two-body level. All blocks of these DMs are examined. We also introduce and analyze new measures like the up-down two-body mutual information and two types of two-body negativities, the latter measuring the "inner" entanglement of the reduced two-body DMs, i.e., their deviation from a convex mixture of SDs. Finally, the dissociation limit is also analyzed, considering both the exact ground state (GS) as well as the thermal state in the zero temperature limit, representing the projector onto the "GS band" of almost degenerate lowest lying eigenstates.

Open quantum entanglement: a study of two atomic system in static patch of de Sitter space

Samim Akhtar, Sayantan Choudhury, Satyaki Chowdhury +3 more

Abstract In this work, our prime objective is to study non-locality and long range effect of two body correlation using quantum entanglement from various information theoretic measure in the static patch of de Sitter space using a two body Open Quantum System (OQS). The OQS is described by a system of two entangled atoms, surrounded by a thermal bath, which is modelled by a massless probe scalar field. Firstly, we partially trace over the bath field and construct the Gorini Kossakowski Sudarshan Lindblad (GSKL) master equation, which describes the time evolution of the reduced subsystem density matrix. This GSKL master equation is characterized by two components, these are-Spin chain interaction Hamiltonian and the Lindbladian. To fix the form of both of them, we compute the Wightman functions for probe massless scalar field. Using this result alongwith the large time equilibrium behaviour we obtain the analytical solution for reduced density matrix. Further using this solution we evaluate various entanglement measures, namely Von-Neumann entropy, R $$e'$$ e′ nyi entropy, logarithmic negativity, entanglement of formation, concurrence and quantum discord for the two atomic subsystem on the static patch of De-Sitter space. Finally, we have studied violation of Bell-CHSH inequality, which is the key ingredient to study non-locality in primordial cosmology.

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.
