Phys. Rev. Lett. 92, 167901 (2004) [4 pages]Proposal for Energy-Time Entanglement of Quasiparticles in a Solid-State DeviceReceived 29 July 2003; revised 1 December 2003; published 23 April 2004 We present a proposal for the experimental observation of energy-time entanglement of quasiparticles in mesoscopic physics. This type of entanglement arises whenever correlated particles are produced at the same time and this time is uncertain in the sense of quantum uncertainty, as has been largely used in photonics. We discuss its feasibility for electron-hole pairs. In particular, we argue that junctions between materials in which electrons and holes, respectively, propagate ballistically and behave as “entanglers” for energy-time entanglement when irradiated with a continuous laser. © 2004 The American Physical Society URL:
