- Abstract: Motivated by quantum gravity, semi-classical theory, and quantum theory on
curved spacetimes, we study the system of an oscillator coupled to two spin-1/2
particles. This model provides a prototype for comparing three types of
dynamics: the full quantum theory, the classical oscillator with spin
backreaction, and spins propagating on a fixed oscillator background. From
nonperturbative calculations of oscillator and entanglement entropy dynamics,
we find that entangled tripartite states produce novel oscillator trajectories,
and that the three systems give equivalent dynamics for sufficiently weak
oscillator-spin couplings, but deviate significantly for intermediate
couplings. These results suggest that semiclassical dynamics with back reaction
does not provide a suitable intermediate regime between quantum gravity and
quantum theory on curved spacetime.
