Measures of spatial entanglement in a two-electron model atom
Jānos Pipek, István Nagy · Physical Review A · 2009
Different entropies which can characterize the inseparable quantum correlation in a two-electron entangled artificial atom proposed by Moshinsky are analyzed. The analysis is based on an exact representation for the trace of the $q$-order one-body reduced density matrix in terms of the interparticle coupling. The entanglement spectrum of the model system and the possible role of the entropy-maximum concept to practical applications of matrices are discussed as well. The ground-state energy, readily obtained from the Schr\"odinger Hamiltonian, is recalculated within a density-matrix-functional representation for its components.
