The entanglement of Bosonic and Fermionic systems

A universal entangler (UE) is a unitary operation which maps all pure product states to entangled states. It is known that for a bipartite system of particles $1,2$ with a Hilbert space $\mathbb{C}^{d_1}\otimes\mathbb{C}^{d_2}$ , a UE exists when $\min{(d_1,d_2)}\geq 3$ and $(d_1,d_2)\neq (3,3)$ . It is also known that whenever a UE exists, almost all unitaries are UEs; however to verify whether a given unitary is a UE is very difficult since solving a quadratic system of equations is NP-hard in general. This work examines the existence and construction of UEs of bipartite bosonic/fermionic systems whose wave functions sit in the symmetric/antisymmetric subspace of $\mathbb{C}^{d}\otimes\mathbb{C}^{d}$ . The development of a theory of UEs for these types of systems needs considerably different approaches from that used for UEs of distinguishable systems. This is because the general entanglement of identical particle systems cannot be discussed in the usual way due to the effect of (anti)-symmetrization which introduces "pseudo entanglement" that is inaccessible in practice. We show that, unlike the distinguishable particle case, UEs exist for bosonic/fermionic systems with Hilbert spaces which are symmetric (resp. antisymmetric) subspaces of $\mathbb{C}^{d}\otimes\mathbb{C}^{d}$ if and only if $d\geq 3$ (resp. $d\geq 8$ ). To prove this we employ algebraic geometry to reason about the different algebraic structures of the bosonic/fermionic systems. Additionally, due to the relatively simple coherent state form of unentangled bosonic states, we are able to give the explicit constructions of two bosonic UEs. Our investigation provides insight into the entanglement properties of systems of indisitinguishable particles, and in particular underscores the difference between the entanglement structures of bosonic, fermionic and distinguishable particle systems.A universal entangler (UE) is a unitary operation which maps all pure product states to entangled states.

Entanglement scaling in lattice systems

K M R Audenaert, M. Cramer, Jens Eisert +1 more

We review some recent rigorous results on scaling laws of entanglement properties in quantum many body systems. More specifically, we study the entanglement of a region with its surrounding and determine its scaling behaviour with its size for systems in the ground and thermal states of bosonic and fermionic lattice systems. A theorem connecting entanglement between a region and the rest of the lattice with the surface area of the boundary between the two regions is presented for non-critical systems in arbitrary spatial dimensions. The entanglement scaling in the field limit exhibits a peculiar difference between fermionic and bosonic systems. In one-spatial dimension a logarithmic divergence is recovered for both bosonic and fermionic systems. In two spatial dimensions in the setting of half-spaces however we observe strict area scaling for bosonic systems and a multiplicative logarithmic correction to such an area scaling in fermionic systems. Similar questions may be posed and answered in classical systems.We review some recent rigorous results on scaling laws of entanglement properties in quantum many body systems.

On the role of entanglement in the formation and stability of composite bosons

Zakarya Lasmar

On the role of entanglement in the formation and stability of composite bosons by mgr.Zakarya Lasmar Composite bosons are many-body systems made of many elementary bosons, or an even number of elementary fermions.Recently, it was suggested that quantum entanglement can be understood as the origin of the bosonic character of the simplest systems of this type (bipartite composite bosons).This idea motivated a new direction of research: quantum information oriented study of composite particles.In the present work, the role of entanglement in the formation and dynamics of composite bosons is studied.We show that, in some special situations, two entangled fermions can exhibit bosonic behaviour while being specially separated.We propose a nonlocal scheme that leads two pairs of entangled fermions to form an analogue of a two-partite bosonic Fock state.Also, we show that in some situations entanglement can provide stability for a composite particle.In this case, the interaction-free dynamics of an entangled bipartite system appear to mimic the behaviour of two interacting particles.In addition, we discuss the possible reasons that can limit the influence of entanglement on the behaviour of composite particles.The no-signalling condition seems to play a crucial role, which suggests that interactions in some situations become necessary.Regarding the formation of composite bosons, I present an entanglement-based method to study the bosonic quality of fermionic multipartite systems.Using this method, I examine the bosonic quality of the ground state of the extended one-dimensional Hubbard model while tuning the strength of interactions.viiOn the role of entanglement in the formation and stability of composite bosons by mgr.Zakarya Lasmar Composite bosons are many-body systems made of many elementary bosons, or an even number of elementary fermions.Recently, it was suggested that quantum entanglement can be understood as the origin of the bosonic character of the simplest systems of this type (bipartite composite bosons).This idea motivated a new direction of research: quantum information oriented study of composite particles.In the present work, the role of entanglement in the formation and dynamics of composite bosons is studied.We show that, in some special situations, two entangled fermions can exhibit bosonic behaviour while being specially separated.We propose a nonlocal scheme that leads two pairs of entangled fermions to form an analogue of a two-partite bosonic Fock state.Also, we show that in some situations entanglement can provide stability for a composite particle.In this case, the interaction-free dynamics of an entangled bipartite system appear to mimic the behaviour of two interacting particles.In addition, we discuss the possible reasons that can limit the influence of entanglement on the behaviour of composite particles.The no-signalling condition seems to play a crucial role, which suggests that interactions in some situations become necessary.Regarding the formation of composite bosons, I present an entanglement-based method to study the bosonic quality of fermionic multipartite systems.Using this method, I examine the bosonic quality of the ground state of the extended one-dimensional Hubbard model while tuning the strength of interactions.vii
