Abstract
In this paper, we propose a feasible scheme to create macroscopic atom-molecule entanglement from a two-species atomic Bose-Einstein condensate, focusing on the role of the initial populations imbalance Δ of the two species. We find that, by tuning the value of Δ and/or the initial quantum statistics of the atoms, the atom-heteronuclear molecule entanglement can be indeed realized.
