Tunable entanglement generation for mobile-electron spin qubits

Mesoscale and Nanoscale Physics 2007-05-23 v3

Abstract

Recent studies have shown that linear electron optics can be used to generate entangled two-particle states from nonentangled ones if additional measurements of charge or parity are performed. We have investigated such nondeterministic entanglement production in electronic versions of the Mach-Zehnder interferometer, where spin-dependent interference occurs due to the presence of electric-field tunable Rashba spin splitting. Adjustment of the spin-precession length turns out to switch the entangler on and off, as well as control the detailed form of entangled output states.
