• Abstract: We present a comparison of the AQFT-based Fewster-Verch framework with the Unruh-DeWitt particle detector models commonly employed in relativistic quantum information and QFT in curved space. We use this comparison to respond to a recent paper [arXiv:2103.13400] in which it was argued that the Reeh-Schlieder theorem prevents weakly coupled local particle detectors from harvesting vacuum entanglement from a quantum field. Their claim can be traced back to the mixedness that a local particle detector cannot escape from because of the entanglement that it must have with the quantum fields outside of the localization area. We argue that for any realistic scale of localization for physical particle detectors the effect of that mixedness is negligible, and that weakly coupled localized particle detectors are not impeded from harvesting vacuum entanglement.

  We show that two localized modes of the quantum field theories are able to harvest the same amount of leading order entanglement as two non-relativistic particle detectors. These results legitimize the use of particle detectors to study entanglement harvesting regardless of their internally non-relativistic nature.

  Zitterbewegung of Dirac particles is underlain by a more fundamental and universal interference behavior without classical analogs. We reveal such an interference pattern in phase space, which underlies but goes beyond Zitterbewegung. Besides being of fundamental importance, the demonstrated nonclassical effects are useful in quantum technology.

• Weakly coupled local particle detectors cannot harvest entanglement [0.0]
  Many states of linear real scalar quantum fields (in particular Reeh-Schlieder states) are entangled on spacelike separated local algebras of observables. It has been argued that this entanglement can be "harvested" by a pair of so-called particle detectors. We show that local particle detectors cannot harvest entanglement below a critical coupling strength.

The experimentally viable scheme presented can spark renewed optimism for the detection of non-contact friction.

  We study the phenomenon of transmission across the singularity that separates the two half-cylinders. All the local realisations of the free (Laplace-Beltrami) quantum Hamiltonian are examined as non-equivalent protocols of transmission/reflection. This allows to comprehend the distinguished status of the so-called bridging' transmission protocol previously identified in the literature.

• The appearance of particle tracks in detectors [15.69806651672675]
  A quantum particle propagating in a detector, such as a Wilson cloud chamber, leaves a track close to a classical trajectory. We introduce an idealized quantum-mechanical model of a charged particle that is periodically illuminated by pulses of laser light. We present a mathematically rigorous analysis of the appearance of particle tracks, assuming that the Hamiltonian of the particle is in the position- and momentum operators.
