TLDR
In this paper, the dependence of entanglement on the interparticle interaction strength, on the number of particles, and on the particle masses was investigated in a one-dimensional many-body Moshinsky model.
Abstract
We investigate the correlations between different bipartitions of an exactly solvable one-dimensional many-body Moshinsky model consisting of N n “nuclei” and N e “electrons” We study the dependence of entanglement on the inter-particle interaction strength, on the number of particles, and on the particle masses Consistent with kinematic intuition, the entanglement between two subsystems vanishes when the subsystems have very different masses, while it attains its maximal value for subsystems of comparable mass We show how this entanglement feature can be inferred by means of the Born-Oppenheimer Ansatz, whose validity and breakdown can be understood from a quantum information point of view

On the characterization of entanglement

Guifre Vidal
TL;DR: In this article, a mathematical characterization of these monotone magnitudes is presented, which are then related to optimal strategies of conversion of shared states, and more detailed results are presented for pure states of bipartite systems.

Entanglement in indistinguishable particle systems

TL;DR: In this paper, a comparative analysis of the relevant existing approaches, which is based on the characterization of bipartite entanglement in terms of the behaviour of correlation functions, is presented.

Variance of an anisotropic Bose-Einstein condensate

TL;DR: In this article, the anisotropy of a trap potential can impact the density and variance of a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) in an opposite manner.

Entanglement in the Born-Oppenheimer Approximation.

TL;DR: In this paper, the role of entanglement on the validity of the Born-Oppenheimer (BO) approximation was investigated, and it was shown that the degree of electron-nuclear entangulation is not correlated with the accuracy of the BO approximation.

Analytic solutions of topologically disjoint systems

TL;DR: In this paper, a procedure to solve an up-problem where the particles are separated topologically in N groups with at most two particles in each is described. But the problem is first reduced to an analytically solvable N-body problem and N independent two-body problems.

Dynamical Theory of Crystal Lattices

Max Born, +1 more
TL;DR: Born and Huang's classic work on the dynamics of crystal lattices was published over thirty years ago, and it remains the definitive treatment of the subject as mentioned in this paper. But it is not the most complete work on crystal lattice dynamics.

Zur Quantentheorie der Molekeln

Max Born, +1 more
- 01 Jan 1924 - 
TL;DR: In der Anwendung der Quantentheorie auf die Molekeln kann man folgende Entwicklungsstufen unterscheiden: Das erste Stadium1) ersetzt die zweiatomige Molekel durch das Hantelmodell, das als einfacher „Rotator“ behandelt wird as discussed by the authors.

Entanglement in many-body systems

TL;DR: In this article, the properties of entanglement in many-body systems are reviewed and both bipartite and multipartite entanglements are considered, and the zero and finite temperature properties of entangled states in interacting spin, fermion and boson model systems are discussed.

Colloquium: Area laws for the entanglement entropy

TL;DR: In this paper, the current status of area laws in quantum many-body systems is reviewed and a significant proportion is devoted to the clear and quantitative connection between the entanglement content of states and the possibility of their efficient numerical simulation.

Entropy and area.

TL;DR: The ground-state density matrix for a massless free field is traced over the degrees of freedom residing inside an imaginary sphere; the resulting entropy is shown to be proportional to the area (and not the volume) of the sphere.
