Part of Focus on Quantum Correlations in Tailored Matter

Spin entanglement between two spatially separated electrons can be generated in nonequilibrium interacting quantum dots, coherently coupled to a common lead. In this system entangled two-electron states develop which are Werner states with an imbalance between singlet and triplet probabilities. We propose a multi-terminal, multiply connected set-up for the generation and detection of this imbalance. In particular, we identify a regime in which the formation of spin entanglement leads to a cancellation of Aharonov–Bohm oscillations.
