• Abstract: This paper points out the importance of the quantum nature of the gravitational interaction with matter in a linearized theory of quantum gravity induced entanglement of masses (QGEM). We will show how the quantum interaction entangles the steady states of a closed system (eigenstates) of two test masses placed in the harmonic traps, and how such a quantum matter-matter interaction emerges from an underlying quantum gravitational field. We will rely upon quantum perturbation theory highlighting the critical assumptions for generating a quantum matter-matter interaction and showing that a classical gravitational field does not render such an entanglement. We will consider two distinct examples; one where the two harmonic oscillators are static and the other where the harmonic oscillators are non-static. In both the cases it is the quantum nature of the gravitons interacting with the harmonic oscillators that are responsible for creating an entangled state with the ground and the excited states of harmonic oscillators as the Schmidt basis. We will compute the concurrence as a criterion for the above entanglement and highlight the role of the spin-2 nature of the graviton for entangling the two harmonic oscillators.

  We show the existence of genuine tripartite non-Gaussian entanglement in a quantum gravitational system. We introduce a new entanglement witness, well-suited for the graviton-matter interaction Hamiltonian analysed here. We show that the witness is non-zero for the three-mode states generated by the Hamiltonian when the system starts in the ground state.

  We experimentally study collective dynamics across a (2+1)D Ising quantum phase transition. By deterministically preparing and following the evolution of ordered domains, we show that the coarsening is driven by the curvature of domain boundaries. We quantitatively explore these phenomena and further observe long-lived oscillations of the order parameter, corresponding to an amplitude (Higgs) mode.
