Abstract
AbstractWe study the ground-state entanglement between two atoms in a two-dimensional isotropic harmonic trap. We consider a finite-range soft-core interaction that can be applied to simulate various atomic systems. We provide detailed results on the dependence of the correlations on the parameters of the system. Our investigations show that in the hardcore limit, the wave function can be approximated as the product of the radial and angular components regardless of the interaction range. This implies that the radial and angular correlations are independent of one another. However, correlations within the radial and angular components persist and are heavily influenced by the interaction range. The radial correlations are generally weaker than the angular correlations. When soft-core interactions are considered, the correlations exhibit more complex behavior.
