The production of entangled electron pairs in a solid state device from the splitting of a Cooper pair is currently attracting much attention. Recent experiments have shown that Cooper pairs can be split in a controlled fashion in double quantum dot structures. In this talk I will describe how spin-orbit interaction in carbon nanotubes presents unique characteristics for the study of the entanglement of injected pairs of electrons.
I will briefly introduce the double dot Cooper pair splitter device based on carbon nanotubes. In this setup, I will review the form of spin-orbit interaction and demonstrate that it leads to a perfect spin filter with spin orientations tunable by external fields. Tunable spin-orbit induced spin-filtering allows to implement entanglement detectors, such as probing a Bell inequality. These detectors can rely on conductance measurements alone and do not require the precise knowledge of the spin orientations of the spin filter. Yet if in addition the spin orientations are known, the same setup can be used for full quantum state tomography.
