Abstract
We analyse the degree of two-particle entanglement between an electron and a positron that are created in vacuum in the presence of a supercritical field. This degree of entanglement is determined from the spatially and temporally resolved two-particle wave function calculated from relativistic quantum field theory. Some spin components of the two particles are fully correlated with respect to a simultaneous measurement. However, the positions where the two particles are created by the field can be apart from each other by as much as the Compton wavelength for an extended supercritical field. We calculate the K parameter from the two-particle wave function as a quantitative measure for the degree of entanglement.Keywords
