Entanglement dynamics through electromagnetic interactions in single-electron traps

We study the dynamics of quantum entanglement between two harmonically trapped electrons interacting via the electromagnetic force. Starting from two-mode Gaussian states at thermal equilibrium, we make use of the covariance matrix formalism in order to compute the logarithmic negativity of the evolved state as a quantitative measure of entanglement. We analyze two initial configurations: thermal single-mode and two-mode squeezed states, and describe the time evolution of entanglement in the system for different values of squeezing and temperature, while identifying the parameter regimes accessible to current and near-future single-electron trap experiments.
