Canonical entanglement for two indistinguishable particles

We determine the degree of entanglement for two indistinguishable particles based on the tensor product structure, which is a framework for emphasizing entanglement founded on observational quantities. Our theory connects the canonical entanglement and entanglement based on occupation number for two fermions and for two bosons and shows that the entanglement measure, based on linear entropy, is...

The key insight of Bogoliubov is that although the mean-field Hamiltonian (1) is clearly not diagonal in the space of states created by the operators ck,↑/↓, it may be diagonal in a basis of states created by operators related to these via a simple SU2 transformation. Indeed, it may be the case that ‘electrons’ and ‘holes’ are the wrong degrees of freedom to consider; we should at least look to...
