Hydrogenic entanglement
ORAL
Abstract
Is there any entanglement in the simplest ubiquitous bound system? We study the solutions to the time-independent Schrödinger equation for a Hydrogenic system and devise two entanglement tests for free and localised states. For free Hydrogenic systems, we compute the Schmidt basis diagonalisation for general energy eigenstates, and for a Hydrogenic system localised to a three-dimensional Gaussian wavepacket, we demonstrate that measuring its second moments is sufficient for detecting entanglement. Our results apply to any system that exhibits Hydrogenic structure.
