Spatial Entanglement Entropy in Nuclear Fission
S. C. Li, J. W. Chen, J. C. Pei
Abstract
Nuclear fission provides a unique manifestation of spatially nonlocal many-body entanglement. We compute the bipartite spatial entanglement entropy exactly along dynamical fission trajectories, by leveraging the fermionic Gaussian state formulation. Across seven representative fissioning channels, the final entanglement entropy correlates strongly with the intrinsic particle number variance of the fragment, yet exhibits no simple dependence on scission geometries. Most notably the entanglement is significantly suppressed when fragments are magic nuclei, revealing a shell anti-entanglement effect. This work establishes entanglement entropy as a novel lens that extends the conventional conception of nuclear fission.
