• Abstract: We analyzed how entanglement harvesting is affected by the performance of a measurement on the quantum field. The measurement on the field is modelled as the coupling of a particle detector to the field, followed by a projective measurement performed on the detector. In our analysis, we considered different arrangements for two detectors harvesting entanglement and an ancillary detector used to perform a measurement. We found different regimes for how performing measurements on the field affects the entanglement harvested, depending on the initial and final states of the detector used to measure the field, as well as its coupling strength. We identified the regimes where it is possible to measure the field during the preparation of entanglement harvesting protocols without significantly interfering in the entanglement harvested. We also identify in what regimes the field measurement can degrade or slightly enhance the ability of particle detectors to harvest entanglement.

  We show that the information exchange between particle detectors and their ability to harvest correlations from a quantum field can interfere constructively and destructively. This allows for scenarios where the presence of entanglement in the quantum field is actually detrimental to the process of getting the two detectors entangled.

  We investigate the protocol of entanglement harvesting, where two spacelike separated particle detectors extract quantum correlations from a quantum field. We find that there are regimes in which the entanglement harvested can increase with the mass of the field by decreasing the noise experienced by the detectors.

• When entanglement harvesting is not really harvesting [0.0]
  We revisit the entanglement harvesting protocol when two detectors are in causal contact. We show that when two detectors can communicate via the field, the detectors get entangled only via the field-mediated communication channel. In contrast, for massive scalar fields both communication and genuine harvesting contribute equally to the bipartite entanglement when the detectors are causally connected.

We observe a peculiar phenomenon of measurement-induced particle clusterization that takes place only for frequent moderately strong measurements, but not for strong infrequent measurements.
