Entanglement and symmetrization lead to non-separable states that can modify physical properties. Using the example of atomic absorption we compare both types of effects when they are relevant at once. The presence of multi-particle…
The properties of non-product states, both (anti)symmetrized and entangled, have been extensively studied in the literature. In this paper, by extending previous partial results, we introduce a general framework to describe atomic…
The probability of simultaneous tunnelling of two particles is modified when the system is in a non-separable state, either entangled or symmetrised. We compare both effects in the rectangular potential barrier by evaluating the…
We explore the relationship between symmetrisation and entanglement through measurements on few-particle systems in a multi-well potential. In particular, considering two or three trapped atoms, we measure and distinguish correlations…
Entanglement can modify light-matter interaction effects and, conversely, these interactions can change the non-classical correlations present in the system. We present an example where these mutual connections can be discussed in a simple…

The first photon emission and the disentanglement of a pair of identical bosonic atoms in excited entangled states follow an exponential law. We extend the theory to distinguishable and identical fermionic two-atom systems. As a byproduct…

The symmetrization postulate asserts that the state of particular species of particles can only be of one permutation symmetry type: symmetric for bosons and antisymmetric for fermions. We report some experimental results showing that pairs…
Unlike for bipartite states consisting of distinguishable particles, in the case of identical parties the notion of entanglement is still under debate. In the following, we review two different approaches to the entanglement of systems…
We propose a review of recent developments on entanglement and non-classical effects in collective two-atom systems and present a uniform physical picture of the many predicted phenomena. The collective effects have brought into sharp focus…
