Abstract

In recent years the dynamics of entanglement formation between two distinguishable charged particles has been investigated for scattering events in bulk semiconductors. The aim of this work is to overcome the hypothesis of distinguishable carriers. Here we present a quantitative evaluation of the entanglement dynamics for electron-electron collisions in a 2D system applying a method, suitable for indistinguishable particles, based on the Slater rank and the von Neumann entropy of the reduced density matrix. The quantum entanglement of both spatial and spin degrees of freedom is computed for various initial conditions of the system.
