“…In this spirit, various proposals for producing bipartite entangled fermionic systems have been advanced, on the basis of different physical mechanisms requiring a direct interaction between particles. 5,[7][8][9][10]33 In this paper, we have investigated the quantum correlations appearing, as a consequence of a Coulomb scattering, between two electrons having the same spin, in a system of physical interest, where the degree of the entanglement results to be controllable by a proper tuning of the carrier energy and of the QD potential. Such a system consists of a quasi-1D double-barrier resonant tunneling device, where an electron incoming from one lead is scattered by the potential structure and, via the Coulomb interaction, by another electron bound in the QD.…”
