Continuous variable entanglement sharing in non-inertial frames

چکیده
We study the distribution of entanglement between modes of a free scalar field from the perspective of observers in relative acceleration. The degradation of entanglement due to the Unruh effect is analytically studied for two parties detecting a two-mode squeezed state in an inertial frame, in the cases of either one or both observers undergoing uniform acceleration. We find that for two non-inertial observers moving with finite acceleration, the entanglement vanishes between the lowest frequency modes. The loss of entanglement is precisely explained as a redistribution of the inertial entanglement into multipartite quantum correlations among accessible and unaccessible modes from a non-inertial perspective. We show that classical correlations are also lost for two accelerated observers but conserved if one of the observers remains inertial.

Communication in non-inertial frames
The dynamics of entangled two qubit pairs in non -inertial frames is investigated. The degree of entanglement is quantified for different classes of travelling states. The accelerated channels are used as quantum channels to teleport unknown accelerated information. The possibility of using the accelerated channels to perform quantum coding is discussed, where it is shown that the coding inform...

Two observers determine the entanglement between two free bosonic modes by each detecting one of the modes and observing the correlations between their measurements. We show that a state which is maximally entangled in an inertial frame becomes less entangled if the observers are relatively accelerated. This phenomenon, which is a consequence of the Unruh effect, shows that entanglement is an o...
متن کاملEntanglement of Dirac fields in non-inertial frames
We analyze the entanglement between two modes of a free Dirac field as seen by two relatively accelerated parties. The entanglement is degraded by the Unruh effect and asymptotically reaches a non-vanishing minimum value in the infinite acceleration limit. This means that the state always remains entangled to a degree and can be used in quantum information tasks, such as teleportation, between ...
متن کاملContinuous variable tangle, monogamy inequality, and entanglement sharing in Gaussian states of continuous variable systems
For continuous-variable systems, we introduce a measure of entanglement, the continuous variable tangle (contangle), with the purpose of quantifying the distributed (shared) entanglement in multimode, multipartite Gaussian states. This is achieved by a proper convex roof extension of the squared logarithmic negativity. We prove that the contangle satisfies the Coffman-Kundu-Wootters monogamy in...
متن کاملBipartite and Multipartite Entanglement of Gaussian States
In this chapter we review the characterization of entanglement in Gaus-sian states of continuous variable systems. For two-mode Gaussian states, we discuss how their bipartite entanglement can be accurately quantified in terms of the global and local amounts of mixedness, and efficiently estimated by direct measurements of the associated purities. For multimode Gaussian states endowed with loca...
