Measurement of entanglement in coupled dots

Abstract

Using the method developed by Gurvitz of solving Schrdinger equations and the numerical calculation, we investigate the oscillation and the entanglement of the two opposite-spin electrons in coupled quantum dots, and show how to read out the entanglement by quantum point-contact detector. The results show that the two electrons start to entangle due to Coulomb interaction, and then they move together with Coulomb interaction augmenting, similar to the oscillation of an electron in a qibit. In this case, we locate a quantum point contact detector near one of the quantum dots, and the entanglement information can be obtained by changing the current.
