A weakly bound electron in a semiconductor quantum wire is shown to become entangled with an itinerant electron via the coulomb interaction. The degree of entanglement and its variation with energy of the injected electron, may be tuned by…

Quantum information is about the entanglement of states. To this starting point we add parameters whereby a single state becomes a non-vanishing section of a bundle. We consider through examples the possible entanglement patterns of…
