The indistinguishability of particles is an important feature of quantum mechanics. To account for indistinguishability, identical particles are described as inherently correlated. In this paper we study a method of transforming these correlations into operationally accessible entanglement with single-particle subtractions. We provide specific protocols to turn the bosonic symmetrization into various classes of entanglement. Moreover, we explain why analogous schemes cannot work for fermions. These results provide a new perspective on manipulating quantum states with heralded subtraction.
