摘要
We propose a source of purely electronic energy-entangled states implemented in a solid-state system with potential applications in quantum information protocols based on electrons. The proposed device relies on the standard tools of electron quantum optics and exploits entanglement of the Cooper pairs of a BCS superconductor. The latter is coupled via an adjustable quantum point contact to two opposite spin-polarized electron wave-guides, which are driven by trains of Lorentzian pulses. This specific choice for the drive is crucial to inject purely electronic entangled states devoid of spurious electron-hole pairs. In the Andreev regime, a perturbative calculation in the tunnel coupling confirms that entangled electrons states are generated at the output of the normal side. For arbitrary tunnel coupling and for a periodic drive, direct current and noise (auto and cross correlations) are computed numerically using a Keldysh-Nambu-Floquet formalism. Importantly, for a periodic drive, the production of these states can be controlled in time, thus implementing an on-demand source of entangled states. We exploit realistic experimental parameters for our device to identify its optimal functioning point.
