Entanglement of a microcanonical ensemble

  • 1. Departement Fysica, Universiteit Antwerpen, Groenenborgerlaan 171, 2020 Antwerpen (Belgium)

Description

We replace time-averaged entanglement by ensemble-averaged entanglement and derive a simple expression for the latter. We show how to calculate the ensemble average for a two-spin system and for the Jaynes-Cummings model. In both cases the time-dependent entanglement is known as well so that one can verify that the time average coincides with the ensemble average
