Dynamics of entanglement entropy of interacting fermions in a 1D driven harmonic trap

Following up on a recent analysis of two cold atoms in a time-dependent harmonic trap in one dimension, we explore the entanglement entropy of two and three fermions in the same situation when driven through a parametric resonance. We find that the presence of such a resonance in the two-particle sy...
