Here we review recent work in which a relation between this quantity and the Full Counting Statistics description of electron transport was established for noninteracting fermion systems. Using this relation, which is of a completely general character, we discuss how the entanglement entropy can be directly measured by detecting current fluctuations in a driven quantum system such as a quantum point contact.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2009-01-22T17:36:13.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "03.65.-w", "05.30.Fk", "02.10.Yn", "05.70.-a", "05.60.Gg" ], "keywords": [ "many-body entanglement", "entanglement entropy", "application", "quantum point contact", "driven quantum system" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "AIP", "journal": "AIP Conf.
