• Abstract: When observing a quantum field via detectors with access to only the mixed states of spatially separated, local regions -- a ubiquitous experimental design -- the capacity to access the full extent of distributed entanglement can be limited, shrouded by classical correlations. By performing projective measurements of the field external to two detection patches and classically communicating the results, underlying pure states may be identified for which entanglement quantification is clear. In the Gaussian continuous-variable states of the free scalar field vacuum, this protocol uncovers a disparity between the spacelike entanglement established within the field and that which is locally detectable. This discrepancy is found to grow exponentially with the separation between observation regions. The protocol developed herein offers insight and practical guidance for clarifying the unavoidable distortion of quantum field correlations when viewed from the vantage of a pair of local observers.

  A quantum-many body system can feature measurement-induced phase transitions (MIPTs) MIPTs cannot be revealed through ensemble-averaged observables, but it requires the ability to discriminate each trajectory separately. We explore the fate of MIPTs under an observer's reduced ability to discriminate each measurement outcome.

  We study localized quantum systems which interact with a quantum field in spacetime regions. We find the entanglement that can be acquired by probes which interact in Gaussian spacetime regions. 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.

  This framework can be used to faithfully capture entanglement in a QFT between arbitrary-shaped regions of spacetime without encountering UV divergences. Our results also establish the limits of the efficiency of entanglement harvesting, and may also be used to motivate an operational definition of entanglement between spacetime subregions in field theory.

  Hong-Ou-Mandel (HOM) effect can lead to a perfect suppression of two-particle coincidences between the output ports of a balanced beam splitter. In this work, we demonstrate experimentally that the two-particle coincidence statistics of two bosons can instead be seamlessly tuned to substantial enhancement. Our findings reveal a new approach to harnessing non-Hermitian settings for the manipulation of multi-particle quantum states.

• Weakly coupled local particle detectors cannot harvest entanglement [0.0]
  Many states of linear real scalar quantum fields (in particular Reeh-Schlieder states) are entangled on spacelike separated local algebras of observables. It has been argued that this entanglement can be "harvested" by a pair of so-called particle detectors. We show that local particle detectors cannot harvest entanglement below a critical coupling strength.

  We study the phenomenon of transmission across the singularity that separates the two half-cylinders. All the local realisations of the free (Laplace-Beltrami) quantum Hamiltonian are examined as non-equivalent protocols of transmission/reflection. This allows to comprehend the distinguished status of the so-called bridging' transmission protocol previously identified in the literature.
