Description
We analyze the quantum entanglement between two interacting atoms trapped in a spherical harmonic potential. At ultracold temperature, ground-state entanglement is generated by the dominated s-wave interaction. Based on a regularized pseudopotential Hamiltonian, we examine the quantum entanglement by performing the Schmidt decomposition of low-energy eigenfunctions. We indicate how the atoms are paired and quantify the entanglement as a function of a modified s-wave scattering length inside the trap
