Most bosons in nature are composites made of more elementary bosons and fermions. Still, from hadrons to ultracold molecules, these composites behave very similarly to elementary bosons, because the statistics of the underlying constituents is negligible. The deviation from ideal bosonic behavior is quantified by the normalization ratio of the quantum state of N composites. Using tools from quantum information science, the normalization ratio for two-boson and two-fermion composites can be bounded efficiently in terms of entanglement measures [1,2]. Using these results, we predict an abrupt transition between ordinary and exaggerated bosonic behavior in a condensate of two-boson composites [1], and show how the entanglement between the parts becomes observable in the collective interference pattern of the bosonic whole [3].
