Quantum fields in vacuum states carry an infinite amount of quantum entanglement, and its entanglement entropy has the ultraviolet divergence. Harvesting protocols of the vacuum entanglement had been investigated, but its efficiency is very…

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…

Black holes, as characterized by the Hawking effect and Bekenstein-Hawking entropy, can be treated as a compact object carrying nontrivial quantum information obscured behind the event horizon. Thus, the black hole may convey and retract…
We study the role that both vacuum fluctuations and vacuum entanglement of a scalar field play in identifying the spacetime topology, which is not prescribed from first principles---neither in general relativity or quantum gravity. We…
We consider the transition rate of a freely falling Unruh-DeWitt detector, coupled linearly to a massless scalar quantum field prepared in the Hartle-Hawking-Israel state, as a probe of the interior of a black hole. Specifically, we…
We investigate the problem of distinguishing between separable and entangled states of two quantum wave packets, one of which falls into a black hole. Intuitively, one might expect the two scenarios to be indistinguishable, since the…
In the present article, we study how different gravitational wave (GW) burst profiles in linearized gravity, with and without the asymptotic memory, may influence the harvesting between two static Unruh-DeWitt detectors. To this end, we…
In this paper, we develop a method to extract the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy of $D$-dimensional black holes using the entanglement entropy of a lower-dimensional conformal field theory (CFT). This approach relies on two key observations. On…

We analyze correlations between pairs of particle detectors quadratically coupled to a real scalar field. We find that, while a single quadratically coupled detector presents no divergences, when one considers pairs of detectors there…
We argue that the entropy of a black hole is due to the entanglement of matter fields and gravitons across the horizon. While the entanglement entropy of the vacuum is divergent because of UV correlations, we show that low-energy…
We study the properties of the transition probability for a circularly accelerated detector that interacts with the massless scalar fields in the presence of a reflecting boundary. As the trajectory radius increases, the transition…
We study how quantum systems can harvest entanglement from the quantum degrees of freedom of the gravitational field. Concretely, we describe in detail the interaction of non-relativistic quantum systems with linearized quantum gravity, and…
Separate regions in space are generally entangled, even in the vacuum state. It is known that this entanglement can be swapped to separated Unruh-DeWitt detectors, i.e., that the vacuum can serve as a source of entanglement. Here, we…
We investigate vacuum entanglement harvesting in the presence of a zero mode. We show that, for a variety of detector models and couplings (namely, Unruh-DeWitt qubit and harmonic oscillator detectors, amplitude and derivative coupling),…
We study the harvesting of entanglement and mutual information by Unruh-DeWitt particle detectors from thermal and squeezed coherent field states. We prove (for arbitrary spatial dimensions, switching profiles and detector smearings) that…
We analyze scenarios in which pairs of Unruh-DeWitt-like detectors interact with scalar field(s) with bi-linear and quadratic coupling. For all cases -- real scalar fields, charged scalar fields, and even for couplings mixing two different…
