Entanglement generation through an open quantum dot: an exact approach
Abstract
We analytically study entanglement generation through an open quantum dot system described by the two-lead Anderson model. We exactly obtain the transition rate between the non-entangled incident state in one lead and the outgoing spin-singlet state in the other lead. In the cotunneling process, only the spin-singlet state can transmit. To discuss such an entanglement property in the open quantum system, we construct the exact two-electron scattering state of the Anderson model. It is striking that the scattering state contains spin-singlet bound states induced by the Coulomb interaction. The bound state describes the scattering process in which the set of momenta is not conserved and hence it is not in the form of a Bethe eigenstate.
