We study the entanglement dynamics in the system of coupled quantum fields. We prove that if the coupling is linear, that is if the total Hamiltonian is a quadratic form of field operators, entanglement can only be transferred between the…

In a bipartite system subject to decoherence from two separate reservoirs, the entanglement is typically destroyed faster than for single reservoirs. Surprisingly however, the existence of separate reservoirs can also have a beneficial…

Entanglement between two quantum systems is a resource in quantum information, but dissipation usually destroys it. In this article we consider two qubits without direct interaction and we show that, even in cases where the open system…

Building on the well-known Unruh-Davies effect, we examine the effects of projective measurements and quantum communications between accelerated and stationary observers. We find that the projective measurement by a uniformly accelerated…

We show a mechanism that projects a pair of neutral two-level atoms from an initially uncorrelated state to a maximally entangled state while they remain spacelike separated. The atoms begin both excited in a common electromagnetic vacuum,…

The entanglement harvesting protocol is an operational way to probe vacuum entanglement. This protocol relies on two atoms, modelled by Unruh-DeWitt detectors, that are initially unentangled. These atoms then interact locally with the field…

We note that massless fields within the future and past light cone may be quantized as independent systems. We show that the vacuum is an entangled state of these systems, exactly mirroring the known entanglement between the spacelike…

We study entanglement generation in a pair of qubits interacting with an initially correlated system. Using time independent perturbation theory and the adiabatic theorem, we show conditions under which the qubits become entangled as the…

We show that the Unruh effect can create net quantum entanglement between inertial and accelerated observers depending on the choice of the inertial state. This striking result banishes the extended belief that the Unruh effect can only…

It is predicted by Schrodinger's equation that entanglement will occur in the interaction between detector and particle. We provide an analysis of the entanglement using the Gurvitz model of double-dot and detector. New results on entangled…

The Unruh effect predicts that a uniformly accelerated observer perceives the vacuum seen by an inertial observer as a thermal bath at a temperature proportional to its proper acceleration. This phenomenon is often regarded as a flat…

We address a fundamental issue in quantum mechanics and quantum information theory, the generation of an entangled pair of qubits that interact solely through a third, semiclassical degree of freedom, in the framework of cavity quantum…

The fundamental quantum dynamics of two interacting oscillator systems are studied in two different scenarios. In one case, both oscillators are assumed to be linear, whereas in the second case, one oscillator is linear and the other is a…

Unruh-DeWitt detectors interacting locally with a quantum field are systems under consideration for relativistic quantum information processing. In most works, the detectors are assumed to be point-like and, therefore, couple with the same…
