Hi everybody! Wasn't sure whether to post this here or in Quantum Mechanics, decided I would start here.
I was wondering how the entanglement structure between the nucleons of two nuclei would evolve during a fission event. Correct me if I'm wrong but wouldn't the two sets of nucleons initially have zero mutual information (assuming the nuclei had been isolated)? Then say one of the nuclei fissions. If one of the ejected neutrons was captured by the second nuclei via radiative capture, wouldn't the wavefunctions of nucleons in the three resulting nuclei be correlated with one another?
Thanks!
