We discuss quantum correlations in system of indistinguish able particles in relation to entanglement in composite quantum systems consisting of well separated subsystems. Our studies are motivated by recent experiment, and theoretical investigations on quantum dots and neutral atoms in microtraps as tools for quantum information processing. We present analogies between distinguishable particles, bosons. and fermions in low-dimensional Hilbert spaces, We introduce the notion of Slater rank for pure states of pairs of fermions and bosons in analogy to the Schmidt rank for pairs of distinguishable particle,, This concept is generalized to mixed states and provides a correlation measure for indistinguishable particles, Then we generalize these notion, to pure fermionic and bosonic states in higher-dimensional Hilbert spaces and also to the multi-particle case, We review the results on quantum correlations in mixed fermionic state, and discuss the concept of fermionic Slater witnesses. Then the theory of quantum correlations in mixed bosonic states and of bosonic Slater witnesses is formulated. In both cases we provide methods of constructing optimal Slater witnesses that detect the degree of quantum correlations in mixed fermionic and bosonic states. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science (USA).
