Entanglement between two spatially separated ultracold interacting Fermi gases

Abstract

Multiparticle entangled states, essential ingredients for modern quantum technologies, are routinely generated in experiments of atomic Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs). However, the entanglement in ultracold interacting Fermi gases has not been yet exploited. In this work, by using an ansatz of composite bosons, we show that many-particle entanglement between two fermionic ensembles localized in spatially separated modes can be generated by splitting an ultracold interacting Fermi gas in the (molecular) BEC regime. This entanglement relies on the fundamental fermion exchange symmetry of molecular constituents and might be used for implementing quantum applications in oncoming experiments. We show that the generated fermionic ensembles can be highly entangled and exhibit nonlocal quantum correlations. Entanglement-induced suppression of fluctuations in the single-fermion spectral density of the ultracold fermionic gas is also observed.
