Phys. Rev. A 69, 054305 (2004) [4 pages]Entanglement of electron spins of noninteracting electron gases
Sangchul Oh * and Jaewan Kim † Received 30 October 2003; revised 8 March 2004; published 21 May 2004 We study entanglement of electron spins in many-body systems based on the Green’s function approach. As an application we obtain the two-particle density matrix of a noninteracting electron gas and identify its two-spin density matrix as a Werner state. We calculate entanglement measures, a classical correlation, mutual information, and a pair-distribution function of two electrons at zero and finite temperatures. We find that changes of entanglement measures are proportional to T2 at low temperatures. ©2004 The American Physical Society
