Toward experimental determination of spin entanglement of nucleon pairs

Abstract

Nuclear entanglement is a flagship in the interdisciplinary direction of nuclear physics and quantum information science. Spin entanglement, a special kind of nuclear entanglement, is ubiquitous in nuclear structures and dynamics. Based on the idea of quantum state tomography, the problem of experimental determination of spin entanglement of two-nucleon pure states is studied directly within the scope of nuclear physics. It is shown that the amount of spin entanglement can be obtained by measuring three spin polarizations of one nucleon in polarization experiments. The errors from imperfect preparation of nucleon pairs are also analyzed. This work not only complements the existing literature of nuclear entanglement but also provides new opportunities for nuclear physics with polarized particles.
