Mesoscopic entanglement through central–potential interactions

The generation and detection of entanglement between mesoscopic systems would have major fundamental and applicative implications. In this work, we demonstrate the utility of continuous variable tools to evaluate the Gaussian entanglement arising between two homogeneous levitated nanobeads interacting through a central potential. We compute the entanglement for the steady state and determine the measurement precision required to detect the entanglement in the laboratory.
