Abstract
Using an operational definition we quantify the entanglement, E(P), between two parties who share an arbitrary pure state of N indistinguishable particles. We show that E(P)< or =E(M), where E(M) is the bipartite entanglement calculated from the mode-occupation representation. Unlike E(M), E(P) is superadditive. For example, E(P)=0 for any single-particle state, but the state |1>|1>, where both modes are split between the two parties, has E(P)=1/2. We discuss how this relates to quantum correlations between particles, for both fermions and bosons.Entities:
