The Hydrogen Atom as an Entangled Electron-Proton System
arXiv:quant-ph/9709052 · doi:10.1119/1.18977
Abstract
We illustrate the description of correlated subsystems by studying the simple two-body Hydrogen atom. We study the entanglement of the electron and proton coordinates in the exact analytical solution. This entanglement, which we quantify in the framework of the density matrix formalism, describes correlations in the electron-proton motion.
