We show how entanglement may be quantified in spin and cold atom many-body systems using standard experimental techniques only. The scheme requires no assumptions on the state in the laboratory, and a lower bound to the entanglement can be read off directly from the scattering cross section of neutrons deflected from solid state samples or the time-of-flight distribution of cold atoms in optical lattices, respectively. This removes a major obstacle which so far has prevented the direct and…

Spatial entanglement of bosons in optical lattices.
TLDR
This work adopts recently developed approaches for the determination of rigorous lower entanglement bounds from readily accessible measurements and applies them in an experiment of ultracold interacting bosons in optical lattices of ~10(5) sites, constituting the first rigorous experimental large-scale entanglements quantification in a scalable quantum simulator.
Entanglement Quantification in Atomic Ensembles.
TLDR
This work analytically derives the lower bounds of broad families of entanglement criteria based on variances of arbitrary operators and lower bounding the best separable approximation and the generalized robustness only from measurements of first and second moments of the collective spin operator.
Detection of Entanglement in Ultracold Lattice Gases
Probing non trivial magnetic ordering in quantum magnets realized with ultracold lattice gases demands detection methods with some spatial resolution built on it. Here we demonstrate that the Faraday…

Quantum control of spin-correlations in ultracold lattice gases
Summary form only given. Ultra-cold atomic gases trapped in optical lattices offer an unprecedented playground for studying the quantum phases of many-body systems. In particular, quantum states of…
Detecting two-site spin-entanglement in many-body systems with local particle-number fluctuations
We derive experimentally measurable lower bounds for the two-site entanglement of the spin-degrees of freedom of many-body systems with local particle-number fluctuations. Our method aims at enabling…
Thermodynamic entanglement of magnonic condensates
Over the last decade, significant progresses have been achieved to create Bose-Einstein condensates (BEC) of magnetic excitations, i.e., magnons, at the room temperature, which is a novel quantum…
Accessible quantification of multiparticle entanglement
TLDR
The approach provides analytical results for particular classes of mixed states of N qubits, and computable lower bounds to global, partial, or genuine multiparticle entanglement of any general state.
Measuring and engineering entropy and spin squeezing in weakly linked Bose?Einstein condensates
We propose a method to infer the single-particle entropy of bosonic atoms in an optical lattice and to study the local evolution of entropy, spin squeezing and entropic inequalities for entanglement…
Analyzing quantum simulators efficiently: Scalable state tomography and quantifying entanglement with routine measurements
TLDR
Taking entanglement content of solid state samples and bosons in lattices as an example, it is shown how it may be quantified unconditionally using already routinely performed measurements only.

We have checked the scaling of E(q) with the system size. E.g., at Jβ = 1, we found E30(0)−E10(0) = 0
  • 0055 and E30(0)− E20(0) = 0.0021, where the index indicates the linear size of the square lattice
