Entanglement in macroscopic systems
arXiv:1611.06028 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.95.062116
Abstract
We present a theoretical study of entanglement in ensembles consisting of an arbitrary number of particles. Multipartite entanglement criteria in terms of observables are formulated for a fixed number of particles as well as for systems with a fluctuating particle number. To access the quality of the verified entanglement, the operational measure of the entanglement visibility is introduced. As an example, we perform an analytical characterization of quantum systems composed of interacting harmonic oscillators and witness the entanglement via energy measurements. Our analysis shows that the detectable entanglement decays for macroscopic particle numbers without the need for decoherence processes and for all considered coupling regimes. We further study thermal states of the given correlated system together with the temperature dependence of entanglement.
