Fermionic entanglement in itinerant systems

Quantum Physics 2009-11-07 v2

Abstract

We study pairwise quantum entanglement in systems of fermions itinerant in a lattice from a second-quantized perspective. Entanglement in the grand-canonical ensemble is studied, both for energy eigenstates and for the thermal state. Relations between entanglement and superconducting correlations are discussed in a BCS-like model and for η\eta-pair superconductivity.
