  Entanglement between particle and detector is known to be inherent in the
measurement process. Gurvitz recently analyzed the coupling of an electron in a
double dot (DD) to a quantum point contact (QPC) detector. In this paper we
examine the dynamics of entanglement that result between the DD and QPC. The
rate of entanglement is optimized as a function of coupling when the electron
is initially in one of the dots. It decreases asymptotically towards zero with
increased coupling. The opposite behavior is observed when the DD is initially
in a superposition: the rate of entanglement increases unboundedly as the
coupling is increased. The possibility that there are conditions for which
measurement occurs versus entanglement is considered.
