Quantum entanglement in helium
We compute the entanglement of the ground state and several singlet and triplet excited states of the helium atom using high-quality, state-of-the-art wavefunctions. The behaviour of the entanglement of the helium eigenstates is similar to that observed in some exactly soluble two-electron systems....

| Sumario: | We compute the entanglement of the ground state and several singlet and triplet excited states of the helium atom using high-quality, state-of-the-art wavefunctions. The behaviour of the entanglement of the helium eigenstates is similar to that observed in some exactly soluble two-electron systems. In particular, the amount of entanglement exhibited by the eigenstates tends to increase with energy. |
