• Title: Non-perturbative simple-generated interactions with a quantum field for arbitrary Gaussian states
• Authors: Erickson Tjoa
• Abstract summary: We extend the relativistic quantum channel associated to non-perturbative models to include a very large class of Gaussian states of the quantum field. We show that all physical results involving the non-vacuum Gaussian states can be rephrased in terms of interaction with the vacuum state. In these non-perturbative models it is possible to perform exact computation of the R'enyi entropy.

• Abstract: In this work we first collect and generalize several existing non-perturbative models for the interaction between a single two-level qubit detector and a relativistic quantum scalar field in arbitrary curved spacetimes, where the time evolution is given by simple-generated unitaries, i.e., those generated by Schmidt rank-1 interaction Hamiltonians. We then extend the relativistic quantum channel associated to these non-perturbative models to include a very large class of Gaussian states of the quantum field, that includes an arbitrary combinations of coherent and squeezing operations (i.e., Gaussian operations) on the field. We show that all physical results involving the non-vacuum Gaussian states can be rephrased in terms of interaction with the vacuum state but with Gaussian operators applied to the field operators via the adjoint channel, effectively giving a "Fourier transformed" interpretation of the Gaussian operations in terms of the causal propagators in spacetime. Furthermore, we show that in these non-perturbative models it is possible to perform exact computation of the R\'enyi entropy and hence, via the replica trick, the von Neumann entropy for the field state after the interaction with the detector, without making any assumptions about the purity of the joint initial states of the detector and the field. This gives us a three-parameter family of "generalized cat states" of the field whose entropies are finite and exactly computable.

We revisit the case of two gapless detectors and show that the detectors can become entangled if there is two smeared-way signalling between their interaction regions.

  We study a relatively simple model case, where the quantum channel is generated by a Lindblad equation. We compute the characteristic function of the action of the channel on a Gaussian state explicitly and we can as well derive a representation of the propagator in an integral form. This allows us to compare the exact results with semiclassical approximations and perturbation theory and evaluate their accuracy.

  We study entanglement within a set of squeezed modes that have been evolved by a random linear optical unitary. We prove various results on the typicality of entanglement as measured by the R'enyi-2 entropy. Our main make use of a symmetry property obeyed by the average and the variance of the entropy that dramatically simplifies the averaging over unitaries.

• Integral formula for quantum relative entropy implies data processing inequality [0.0]
  We prove the monotonicity of quantum relative entropy under trace-preserving positive linear maps. For a simple application of such monotonicities, we consider any divergence' that is non-increasing under quantum measurements. An argument due to Hiai, Ohya, and Tsukada is used to show that the infimum of such a divergence' on pairs of quantum states with prescribed trace distance is the same as the corresponding infimum on pairs of binary classical states.

• Mechanisms for the emergence of Gaussian correlations [0.471876092032107]
  We investigate two mechanisms leading to memory loss of non-Gaussian correlations after switching off the interactions in an isolated quantum system. The first mechanism is based on spatial scrambling and results in the emergence of locally Gaussian steady states. The second mechanism, characterized as canonical transmutation', is based on the mixing of a pair of canonically conjugate fields.
