Abstract
We consider the bipartite spin entanglement between two identical fermions generated in spin-independent scattering. We show how the spatial degrees of freedom act as ancillas for the creation of entanglement to a degree that depends on the scattering angle, . The number of Slater determinants generated in the process is greater than 1, corresponding to genuine quantum correlations between the identical fermions. The maximal entanglement attainable of 1 ebit is reached at . We also analyze a simple dependent Bell's inequality, which is violated for . This phenomenon is unrelated to the symmetrization postulate but does not appear for unequal particles.
