Orbital entanglement in an exactly solvable two-electron quantum dot model

Abstract

We consider an exactly solvable two-dimensional model of a two-electron parabolic quantum dot (QD) under the perpendicular magnetic field. We perform a detailed study of the degree of the orbital entanglement of the ground and first excited singlet state depending on the shape of QD, the strength of the effective interaction and the magnetic field. It was found that a degree of entanglement increases with the growth of interaction between electrons. The magnetic field destroys the entanglement of electrons. However, the entanglement in deformed QDs is more stable to the effect of the magnetic field.
