ENTANGLEMENT IN TWO VERTICALLY COUPLED IDENTICAL SINGLE-ELECTRON QUANTUM DOTS

The evolutions of the von Neumann entropies of the low-lying states in two vertically coupled identical single-electron quantum dot systems with increasing magnetic field and inter-dot separation have been investigated. We show that both the external magnetic field and the inter-dot separation can induce the transition of the entropy of the system. Additionally, a suspicion (that is, the higher the excitation, the larger entropy) has been clarified and proven to be incorrect.
