- Abstract summary: We compute the entanglement entropy, mutual information and quantum discord of the Cosmic Microwave Background fluctuations in real space.
In particular, both the mutual information and quantum discord, which decay as the fourth power of the distance between the two measurements in flat space time, asymptotes a constant in cosmological backgrounds.

- Abstract: We compute the entanglement entropy, mutual information and quantum discord
of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) fluctuations in real space. To that
end, we first show that measurements of these fluctuations at two distinct
spatial locations can be described by a bipartite, continuous Gaussian system.
This leads to explicit formulas for the mutual information and the quantum
discord in terms of the Fourier-space power spectra of the curvature
perturbation. We then find that quantum entanglement, that builds up in Fourier
space between opposite wave momenta as an effect of quantum squeezing, is
transferred to real space. In particular, both the mutual information and
quantum discord, which decay as the fourth power of the distance between the
two measurements in flat space time, asymptotes a constant in cosmological
backgrounds. At the scales probed in the CMB however, they are highly
suppressed, while they can reach order-one values at much smaller scales, where
primordial black holes could have formed.

Entanglement in high-dimensional quantum systems, where one or more degrees of freedom of light are involved, offers increased information capacities and enables new quantum protocols.

We generate highly entangled photon pairs at telecom wavelength that we characterise via two-photon interference and quantum state tomography, achieving near-unity visibilities and fidelities.

We show that the Zitterbewegung effect manifests itself as a series of quantum beats of the particle density in the long-time limit.
We also find a time-domain where the particle density of the point source is governed by the propagation of a main wavefront.
The relative positions of these wavefronts are used to investigate the time-delay of quantum waves in the Klein-tunneling regime.
