- Abstract summary: We consider what happens when a quantum-controlled superposition of detectors at different space-time points is used to probe the correlations of the field.
We show that, due to quantum interference effects, two detectors can gain information on field correlations which would not be otherwise accessible.

- Abstract: Quantum field theory is completely characterized by the field correlations
between spacetime points. In turn, some of these can be accessed by locally
coupling to the field simple quantum systems, a.k.a. particle detectors. In
this work, we consider what happens when a quantum-controlled superposition of
detectors at different space-time points is used to probe the correlations of
the field. We show that, due to quantum interference effects, two detectors can
gain information on field correlations which would not be otherwise accessible.
This has relevant consequences for information theoretic quantities, like
entanglement and mutual information harvested from the field. In particular,
the quantum control allows for extraction of entanglement in scenarios where
this is otherwise provably impossible.

We focus on the definition of quantum resources from the irreducibly quantum behavior contained in the correlation functions of a QFT.
Our main object is the associated hierarchy of probability densities of $N$-detector events.
The new resources capture instances of irreducibly quantum behavior differ from the quantum behavior encapsulated in Bell inequalities.

Cosmological particle creation is the phenomenon by which the expansion of spacetime results in the production of particles of a given quantum field in that spacetime.
We study this phenomenon by considering a multi-level quantum particle detector in de Sitter spacetime coupled to a massless real quantum scalar field.
The main novel result is that, due to the quantum nature of the superposition of trajectories, the state of the detector after interaction with the field is not only a mixture of the thermal states that would be expected from each individual static trajectory but rather exhibits additional coherences due to interferences between the different trajectories.
