• Title: Closed-form expressions for smeared bi-distributions of a massless scalar field: non-perturbative and asymptotic results in relativistic quantum information
• Authors: T. Rick Perche,
• Abstract summary: 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.

• Abstract: Using spacetime Gaussian test functions, we find closed-form expressions for the smeared Wightman function, Feynman propagator, retarded and advanced Green's functions, causal propagator and symmetric propagator of a massless scalar field in the vacuum of Minkowski spacetime. We apply our results to localized quantum systems which interact with a quantum field in Gaussian spacetime regions and study different relativistic quantum information protocols. In the protocol of entanglement harvesting, we find a closed-form expression for the entanglement that can be acquired by probes which interact in Gaussian spacetime regions and obtain asymptotic results for the protocol. We also revisit the case of two gapless detectors and show that the detectors can become entangled if there is two-way signalling between their interaction regions, providing closed-form expressions for the detectors' final state.

  We derive a closed-form achievable rate for entanglement-assisted classical communication over a lossy bosonic channel, where the entanglement is in the form of a Two-Mode Squeezed Vacuum (TMSV) modulation restricted to Phase Shift Keying (PSK) The achievable rate is non-asymptotic in terms of the mean signal photon number, mean noise photon number, and transmissivity defining the communication channel.

  Embezzlement of entanglement refers to the counterintuitive possibility of extracting entangled quantum states from a reference state of an auxiliary system. We uncover a deep connection between the operational task of embezzling entanglement and the mathematical classification of von Neumann algebras.

• Relativistic quantum Otto engine: Instant work extraction from a quantum field [0.0]
  We use an Unruh-DeWitt particle detector to extract work from a quantum Klein-Gordon field in a globally hyperbolic curved spacetime. A key aspect of our method is the instantaneous interaction between the detector and the field. We demonstrate that the detector can successfully extract positive work from the quantum Otto cycle, even when two isochoric processes occur instantaneously.

  "apparent" superluminal signalling and retrocausation can appear for particle detector models. We show that, even for detectors with infinite tails in space and time, if the tails decay exponentially, one can define an effective lightcone.

  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.

  We introduce a family of neural quantum states for the simulation of strongly interacting systems in the presence of periodicity. For one-dimensional systems we find very precise estimations of the ground-state energies and the radial distribution functions of the particles. In two dimensions we obtain good estimations of the ground-state energies, comparable to results obtained from more conventional methods.

  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.
