Abstract

In this communication we consider the zero temperature properties of entanglement in free and interacting fermion systems following Bogoliubov’s excitation approach. We investigate spin biparticle entanglement in BCS superconductor ground state of electron gas and in EPS state of 3He atoms. The relation between pair-distribution functions and biparticle quantum entanglement is discussed.
