Multimode entanglement for fermions

Quantum Physics 2019-10-14 v1

Abstract

We are motivated by tripartite entanglement for fermions. While GHZ or W states involve 3-fold intrication, we consider here piecewise intrication of 3 fermions in C2{\bf C}^2, namely of type ab+bc+caab+bc+ca. Before interaction with Stern-Gerlach apparatus, qu-bits are distinguishable; at the output however they turn into un-distinguishable particles, whose anti-symmetric wave function is of the form det(ba,ca)\det(b-a,c-a) (affine determinant). More generally, d+1d+1 intricated fermions in Cd{\bf C}^d can be represented by the anti-symmetric wave function det(a1a0,a2a0,,ada0)\det(a_1-a_0,a_2-a_0,\cdots,a_d-a_0). We investigate also properties of affine Slater determinants, as expectation values or reduced density matrices.
