Abstract
- A scheme is presented for engineering momentum-space entanglement of fragmented magnon condensates. We consider easy-plane frustrated antiferromagnets in which the magnon dispersion has degenerate minima that represent "umbrella" chiral spin textures. We tune the Hamiltonian near a quantum critical point that is signaled by a singularity in the entanglement entropy. The ground state develops momentum-space entanglement of the chiral spin textures. The size of the entangled superposition is accessible experimentally through the magnetic structure factor. Our model is motivated by equilibrium magnon condensates in frustrated antiferromagnets such as CsCuCl3, and it can also be simulated in spin-orbit coupled Mott insulators in atomic optical lattices and circuit quantum electrodynamics.
