• Abstract summary: We investigate the effects of relative motion on entanglement harvesting by considering a pair of Unruh-Dewitt detectors moving at arbitrary, but independent, velocities. We find that the Negativity is a function of the relative velocity of the detectors, as well as their energy gaps and minimal separation.

• Abstract: We investigate the effects of relative motion on entanglement harvesting by considering a pair of Unruh-Dewitt detectors moving at arbitrary, but independent and constant velocities, both linearly interacting with the vacuum scalar field. Working within the weak coupling approximation, we find that the Negativity is a (non-elementary) function of the relative velocity of the detectors, as well as their energy gaps and minimal separation. We find parameter regions where Negativity increases with velocity up to a maximum and then decreases, reaching zero at some sublight velocity. At any given relative velocity, the harvested entanglement is inversely correlated with the detector energy gap (at sufficiently high values) and the distance of closest approach of two detectors.

  Long-range properties of a quantum vacuum may be probed by distributing matter over a large spatial volume. We study two uniformly accelerated Unruh-DeWitt detectors which are spatially separated. When the inter-detector separation is much larger than the thermal wavelength of the Unruh thermal bath, the inter-detector interaction displays a completely new behavior.

As a demonstration, this is applied to the search for unknown charges of a magnitude much below that of an electron. As a by-product of the technique, the electromagnetic properties of the levitated objects can also be measured on an individual basis.

• Does acceleration assist entanglement harvesting? [6.255508552377236]
  We explore whether acceleration assists entanglement harvesting for a pair of uniformly accelerated detectors in three different acceleration scenarios. We find that acceleration is a mixed blessing insofar as it increases the harvested entanglement for a large detector energy gap. For very small acceleration and large energy gap, acceleration-assisted enhancement can happen in all three acceleration scenarios.

  We study the effects of motion for an Unruh-DeWitt detector, modeled as a two-level system, on the amount of coherence extracted. We observe that compared to a detector at rest, for certain values of the initial energy of the field and the interaction duration, the amount is larger for both a detector moving with a constant speed or uniform acceleration.

• Gravitational waves affect vacuum entanglement [68.8204255655161]
  The entanglement harvesting protocol is an operational way to probe vacuum entanglement. Using this protocol, it is demonstrated that while the transition probability of an individual atom is unaffected by the presence of a gravitational wave, the entanglement harvested by two atoms depends sensitively on the frequency of the gravitational wave. This suggests that the entanglement signature left by a gravitational wave may be useful in characterizing its properties, and potentially useful in exploring the gravitational-wave memory effect and gravitational-wave induced decoherence.
