Abstract summary: The behavior of quantum entanglement during scattering is identical to the behavior of initially classically correlated photons up to a constant factor equal to two. Our dedicated experiment with photons confirms these results and explains the "Puzzle of Decoherence" observed recently.

Abstract: The evolution of the entanglement measure during Compton scattering is studied. Our analytical results show that the corresponding measure coincides with the concurrence of the two-qubit state arising after scattering. The state never collapses to a separable one, contrary to what was previously assumed. The behavior of quantum entanglement during scattering is identical to the behavior of initially classically correlated photons up to a constant factor equal to two. This is consistent with local quantum field theory, and "spooky action at a distance" is not required to explain the change in state of nonlocally entangled qubits during the measurement of one of them. Our dedicated experiment with annihilation photons confirms these results and explains the "Puzzle of Decoherence" observed recently.

On the Preservation and Manifestation of Quantum Entanglement [0.0]
Bell experiments have confirmed that quantum entanglement is an inseparable correlation but there is no faster-than-light influence when a local measurement is performed. We show here that even though the inseparable correlation may be initially created by previous physical interaction between the two particles, the preservation and manifestation of such inseparable correlation are achieved through extremizing an information metric.

Real-time dynamics of false vacuum decay [49.1574468325115]
We investigate false vacuum decay of a relativistic scalar field in the metastable minimum of an asymmetric double-well potential. We employ the non-perturbative framework of the two-particle irreducible (2PI) quantum effective action at next-to-leading order in a large-N expansion.

A coherence interpretation of nonlocal realism in the delayed-choice quantum eraser [0.0]
A coherence interpretation is conducted for the nonlocal realism of the space-like separated photons observed in Phys. Rev. Lett. 84, 1 (2000). A fixed sum-phase relation between entangled photons is a prerequisite, which cannot be explained by conventional particle nature-based quantum mechanics.

Multiple measurements on an uncollapsed entangled two-photon state [0.0]
I derive conditions, under which two measurements can be taken on the uncollapsed photon-pair state. The measurements taken by both detectors in this situation are uncorrelated. If experimental results of the proposed experiment disagree with the predictions -- results measured on the quantum state are correlated, new space-time distribution of the quantum state's collapse has to be proposed.

Nonlocal action at a distance also acts in the past [0.0]
The nonlocal action of a measurement can determine the quantum state of a distant entangled particle instantly. It is demonstrated that the measurement-induced collapse of a quantum entangled state also determines the quantum state of a distant photon in its past. The past and future are defined with respect to the time of quantum state collapse in the rest frame of a quantum state measurement device.

Observation-dependent suppression and enhancement of two-photon coincidences by tailored losses [68.8204255655161]
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.

Light-matter interactions near photonic Weyl points [68.8204255655161]
Weyl photons appear when two three-dimensional photonic bands with linear dispersion are degenerated at a single momentum point, labeled as Weyl point. We analyze the dynamics of a single quantum emitter coupled to a Weyl photonic bath as a function of its detuning with respect to the Weyl point.
