• Title: Harvesting correlations from vacuum quantum fields in the presence of a reflecting boundary
• Authors: Zhihong Liu, Jialin Zhang, Hongwei Yu
• Abstract summary: We study the phenomena of mutual information harvesting and entanglement harvesting for two detector-boundary alignments. The presence of the boundary generally inhibits mutual information harvesting relative to that in flat spacetime without any boundaries. The boundary may play a doubled-edged role in entanglement harvesting, i.e., inhibiting entanglement harvesting in the near zone of the boundary while assisting it in the far zone of the boundary.

• Abstract: We explore correlations harvesting by two static detectors locally interacting with vacuum massless scalar fields in the presence of an infinite perfectly reflecting boundary. We study the phenomena of mutual information harvesting and entanglement harvesting for two detector-boundary alignments, i.e., parallel-to-boundary and vertical-to-boundary alignments. Our results show that the presence of the boundary generally inhibits mutual information harvesting relative to that in flat spacetime without any boundaries. In contrast, the boundary may play a doubled-edged role in entanglement harvesting, i.e., inhibiting entanglement harvesting in the near zone of the boundary while assisting it in the far zone of the boundary. Moreover, there exists an optimal detector energy gap difference between two nonidentical detectors that makes such detectors advantageous in correlations harvesting as long as the interdetector separation is large enough. The value of the optimal detector energy gap difference depends on both the interdetector separation and the detector-to-boundary distance. A comparison of the correlations harvesting in two different alignments shows that although correlations harvesting share qualitatively the same properties, they also display quantitative differences in that the detectors in vertical-to-boundary alignment always harvest comparatively more mutual information than the parallel-to-boundary ones, while they harvest comparatively more entanglement only near the boundary.

  We study the entanglement harvesting phenomenon for static detectors locally interacting with massless scalar fields in the cosmic string spacetime. For the alignments on the same side of the string, we find that the presence of a cosmic string may either assist or inhibit entanglement harvesting. The presence of a cosmic string enlarges the harvesting-achievable range for the detectors in vertical alignment only in the vicinity of the string, while it always reduces the harvesting-achievable range for the detectors in parallel alignment.

  We present a duality between a particle detector model coupled to the amplitude of a scalar field and coupled to the field's derivative in the limit of large energy gaps. We show that the results of the models can be mapped to each other in a one-to-one fashion modulo a rescaling by the detector's gap.

  Fully supervised action segmentation works on frame-wise action recognition with dense annotations and often suffers from the over-segmentation issue. We develop a novel local-global attention mechanism with temporal pyramid dilation and temporal pyramid pooling for efficient multi-scale attention. We achieve state-of-the-art accuracy, eg, 82.8% (+2.6%) on GTEA and 74.7% (+1.2%) on Breakfast, which demonstrates the effectiveness of our proposed method.

• Harvesting Entanglement by non-identical detectors with different energy gaps [3.4925971772712154]
  It has been shown that vacuum entanglement can be harvested by a pair of initially uncorrelated detectors interacting locally with the vacuum field for a finite time. In this paper, we examine the entanglement harvesting phenomenon of two non-identical inertial detectors with different energy gaps. Our results suggest that the non-identical detectors may be advantageous to extracting entanglement from vacuum in certain circumstances as compared to identical detectors.

• Entanglement amplification between superposed detectors in flat and curved spacetimes [0.0]
  We consider an entanglement harvesting protocol between two Unruh-deWitt detectors in quantum superpositions of static trajectories in the static de Sitter and thermal Minkowski spacetimes. We demonstrate for the first time that the spatial superposition of each detector's path allows entanglement to be harvested from the quantum field in regimes where it would be otherwise impossible for detectors on classical trajectories.

• Entanglement harvesting in the presence of a reflecting boundary [7.030564717893124]
  We study the entanglement harvesting of inertial and uniformly accelerated detectors locally interacting with vacuum massless scalar fields. We find that the presence of the boundary generally degrades the harvested entanglement when two detectors are very close to the boundary. Remarkably, the parameter space of the detectors' separation and the magnitude of acceleration that allows entanglement harvesting to occur is enlarged due to the presence of the boundary.

Unlike previous methods, our approach concentrates on the densely sampled interaction regions across different scales for each human-object pair. In order to compensate for the detection flaws of a single interaction region, we introduce a novel voting strategy.
