Single-electron entanglement and nonlocality
@article{Dasenbrook2015SingleelectronEA, title={Single-electron entanglement and nonlocality}, author={David Dasenbrook and Joseph Bowles and Jonatan Bohr Brask and Patrick P Hofer and Christian Flindt and Nicolas Brunner}, journal={New Journal of Physics}, year={2015}, volume={18}, pages={043036} }
Motivated by recent progress in electron quantum optics, we revisit the question of single-electron entanglement, specifically whether the state of a single electron in a superposition of two separate spatial modes should be considered entangled. We first discuss a gedanken experiment with single-electron sources and detectors, and demonstrate deterministic (i. e. without post-selection) Bell inequality violation. This implies that the single-electron state is indeed entangled and, furthermore…
