We study the protocol of entanglement harvesting when two local probes couple to the vacuum of a real scalar quantum field with arbitrary temporal profiles. We use a Hermite expansion to efficiently compute smeared field propagators in…
Although the foundations of quantum and classical physics are much different, it is often difficult to pinpoint which features of a particular system are intrinsically "quantum". Perhapse, the most clear-cut distinction between "classical"…

Quantum entanglement harvesting in the relativistic setup attracted a lot of attention in recent times. Acquiring more entanglement within two qubits may be very desirable to establish fruitful communication between them. On the other hand…
It is well-known that the $(1+1)$ dimensional Schwarzschild and spatially flat FLRW spacetimes are conformally flat. This work examines entanglement harvesting from the conformal field vacuums in these spacetimes between two Unruh-DeWitt…
The frame of classical probability theory can be generalized by enlarging the usual family of random variables in order to encompass nondeterministic ones: this leads to a frame in which two kinds of correlations emerge: the classical…

We implement the entanglement harvesting protocol, in which two Unruh-DeWitt detectors become entangled through local interactions with a quantum field, for the first time in the vicinity of a black hole. Our study, focusing on the BTZ…
Entanglement boosts performance limits in sensing and communication, and surprisingly the advantage over classical protocols can be even larger in presence of entanglement-breaking noise. However, to maximally fulfill such advantages…
Quantum entanglement is known as a unique quantum feature that cannot be obtained by classical physics. Over the last several decades, however, such an understanding on quantum entanglement might have confined us in a limited world of weird…
We investigate the entanglement generation or harvesting between two identical, comoving Unruh-DeWitt detectors in the cosmological de Sitter spacetime. The detectors are assumed to be unentangled initially. They are individually coupled to…
There are many reasons to believe that there is a fundamental minimum length scale below which distances cannot be reliably resolved. One method of constructing a quantum field with a finite minimum length scale is to use bandlimited…
We show that entanglement can be used to detect spacetime curvature. Quantum fields in the Minkowski vacuum are entangled with respect to local field modes. This entanglement can be swapped to spatially separated quantum systems using…
