We consider the nonequilibrium dynamics of an interacting spin-1/2 fermionic gas in a one-dimensional optical lattice after switching off the confining potential. In particular, we study the creation and the time evolution of spatially separated, spin-entangled fermionic pairs. This results in entanglement between pairs of singly occupied lattice sites across the cloud, which we quantify by the concurrence. The time-dependent density-matrix renormalization group is used to simulate the time evolution and evaluate the two-site correlation functions, from which the concurrence is calculated. We find that the entangled fermionic pairs are found at different locations, depending on the onsite interaction strength. Moreover, we briefly discuss the prospects of experimentally observing these phenomena by measuring the spin-entanglement using single-site and spin-dependent detection of the particle number.
