• Abstract: We study the role of entanglement and non-locality in quantum protocols that make use of systems of identical particles. Unlike in the case of distinguishable particles, the notions of entanglement and non-locality for systems whose constituents cannot be distinguished and singly addressed are still debated. We clarify why the only approach that avoids incongruities and paradoxes is the one based on the second quantization formalism whereby it is the entanglement of the modes that can be populated by the particles what really matters and not the particles themselves. Indeed, by means of a metrological and of a teleportation protocol, we show that inconsistencies arise in formulations that force entanglement and non-locality to be properties of the identical particles rather than of the modes they can occupy. The reason resides in the fact that orthogonal modes can always be addressed while identical particles can not.

  We show that all forms of multipartite entanglement entirely disappear during the typical evolution of a system. In contrast, if the particles are fermions, such as electrons, another notion of entanglement exists that protects bipartite quantum correlations.

• Quantum particles in non-commutative space-time: an identity crisis [0.0]
  We argue that the notion of identical particles is no longer well defined in quantum systems governed by non-commutative deformations of space-time symmetries. Our analysis is based on the observation that, for states containing more than one particle, only the total momentum of the system is a well defined quantum number.

• Generating indistinguishability within identical particle systems: spatial deformations as quantum resource activators [0.24466725954625884]
  Identical quantum subsystems can possess a property which does not have any classical counterpart: indistinguishability. We present a coherent formalization of the concept of deformation in a general $N$-particle scenario. We discuss the inherent role of spatial deformations as entanglement activators within the "spatially localized operations and classical communication" operational framework.

• Trapping and binding by dephasing [0.0]
  We show that both can arise solely from spatially dependent dephasing, the simplest type of decoherence. For a single particle, we demonstrate a quantum particle-in-the-box based on dephasing. For two particles, we demonstrate their binding despite repulsive interactions, if their molecular states are dephased at large separations only.

  Hong-Ou-Mandel (HOM) effect can lead to a perfect suppression of two-particle coincidences between the output ports of a balanced beam splitter. In this work, we demonstrate experimentally that the two-particle coincidence statistics of two bosons can instead be seamlessly tuned to substantial enhancement. Our findings reveal a new approach to harnessing non-Hermitian settings for the manipulation of multi-particle quantum states.

• Quantum indistinguishability through exchangeable desirable gambles [69.62715388742298]
  Two particles are identical if all their intrinsic properties, such as spin and charge, are the same. Quantum mechanics is seen as a normative and algorithmic theory guiding an agent to assess her subjective beliefs represented as (coherent) sets of gambles. We show how sets of exchangeable observables (gambles) may be updated after a measurement and discuss the issue of defining entanglement for indistinguishable particle systems.
