- Abstract: In a combined experimental and theoretical study we investigate the $7dnl$
and $8pnl$ ($n\ge 11$, $l=9-12$) doubly-excited planetary states of Sr. The
experimental spectrum was obtained using a five-photon resonant excitation
scheme. The method of configuration interaction with exterior complex scaling
was used to compute the energy-level structure and dynamics of the two highly
excited electrons from first principles. Good quantitative agreement was
obtained with the spectra we recorded, and the theoretical calculations shed
light on their complex structure and the signatures of electron correlations
therein. The two-electron probability densities we calculated reveal the
strongly-correlated angular motion of the two electrons in the $7dnl$ and
$8pnl$ planetary states, and confirm quantitatively the predictions of the
frozen-planet approximation describing electron dynamics as the polarization of
the fast inner electron by the electric field of the outer "frozen" electron.

We theoretically investigate the generation of emphmotional entanglement between two electrons via their unscreened Coulomb interaction.
We compute the motional energy spectra of the electrons, as well as their entanglement, by diagonalizing the model Hamiltonian with respect to a single-particle Hartree product basis.
In particular, the theoretical tools developed here can be used for fine tuning and optimization of control parameters in future experiments with electrons trapped above the surface of superfluid helium or solid neon.
