Magnetic susceptibility as a macroscopic entanglement witness
New Journal of Physics 7 (2005) 1-8
Abstract:
We show that magnetic susceptibility can reveal spin entanglement between individual constituents of a solid, while magnetization describes their local properties. We then show that magnetization and its variance (equivalent to magnetic susceptibility for a wide class of systems) satisfy complementary relation in the quantum-mechanical sense. It describes sharing of (quantum) information in the solid between spin entanglement and local properties of its individual constituents. Magnetic susceptibility is shown to be a macroscopic (thermodynamical) spin entanglement witness that can be applied without complete knowledge of the specific model (Hamiltonian) of the solid. 漏 IOP Publishing Ltd and Deutsche Physikalische Gesellschaft.Detecting entanglement with a thermometer

Increasing identical particle entanglement by fuzzy measurements
Physical Review A Atomic Molecular and Optical Physics 72:6 (2005)
Abstract:
We investigate the effects of fuzzy measurements on spin entanglement for identical particles, both fermions and bosons. We first consider an ideal measurement apparatus and define operators that detect the symmetry of the spatial and spin part of the density matrix as a function of particle distance. Then, moving on to realistic devices that can only detect the position of the particle to within a certain spread, it was surprisingly found that the entanglement between particles increases with the broadening of detection. 漏 2005 The American Physical Society.Entanglement-assisted Orientation in Space
