• Title: Entanglement generation between two comoving Unruh-DeWitt detectors in the cosmological de Sitter spacetime
• Authors: Sourav Bhattacharya, Shagun Kaushal,
• Abstract summary: We consider two comoving two-level detectors at a coincident spatial position. The detectors are individually coupled to a scalar field, which eventually leads to coupling between the two detectors. We compute the logarithmic negativity, quantifying the degree of entanglement generated at late times between the two detectors.

• Abstract: We investigate the entanglement generation or harvesting between two identical Unruh-DeWitt detectors in the cosmological de Sitter spacetime. We consider two comoving two-level detectors at a coincident spatial position. The detectors are assumed to be unentangled initially. The detectors are individually coupled to a scalar field, which eventually leads to coupling between the two detectors. We consider two kinds of scalar fields -- conformally symmetric and massless minimally coupled, for both real and complex cases. By tracing out the degrees of freedom corresponding to the scalar field, we construct the reduced density matrix for the two detectors, whose eigenvalues characterise transitions between the energy levels of the detectors. By using the existing results for the detector response functions per unit proper time for these fields, we next compute the logarithmic negativity, quantifying the degree of entanglement generated at late times between the two detectors. The similarities and differences of these results for different kind of scalar fields have been discussed.

  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.

  Two entangled detectors are moving on circular trajectories in $(2+1)$-dimensional Minkowski spacetime. We calculate the transition probability rates of the detectors in the Minkowski vacuum and in a thermal bath. We evaluate the transition probability rates of the detectors when they are switched on for a finite time interval.

• 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.

• Unruh-deWitt detectors in quantum superpositions of trajectories [0.0]
  We extend the standard treatment of an Unruh-deWitt detector to include the detector travelling in a quantum superposition of classical trajectories. We derive perturbative expressions for the final state of the detector, and show that it depends on field correlation functions evaluated locally. We show that in general, such a detector does not thermalise even if the superposed paths would individually yield the same thermal state.
