• Abstract: The effect of black holes on entanglement harvesting has been of considerable interest over the past decade. Research involving stationary Unruh-DeWitt (UDW) detectors near a (2+1)-dimensional Ba\~nados-Teitelboim-Zanelli (BTZ) black hole has uncovered phenomena such as entanglement shadows, entanglement amplification through black hole rotation, and differences between bipartite and tripartite entanglement. For a (1+1)-dimensional Schwarzschild black hole, it has been shown that two infalling UDW detectors can harvest entanglement from the scalar quantum vacuum even when separated by an event horizon. In this paper, we calculate the mutual information between two UDW detectors coupled to a massless quantum scalar field, with the detectors starting at rest and falling radially into a non-rotating (2+1)-dimensional BTZ black hole. The trajectory of the detectors includes regions where both detectors are switched on outside of the horizon; where one detector is switched on inside of the horizon while the other switches on outside; and where both detectors switch on inside of the horizon. We investigate different black hole masses, detector energy gaps, widths and temporal separations of the detector switching functions, and field boundary conditions. We find that black holes--even the simplest kind having constant curvature--significantly affect the correlation properties of quantum fields in the vacuum state. These correlations, both outside and inside the horizon, can be mapped out by infalling detectors.

  We consider the transition rate of a detector in the Banados-Teitelboim-Zanelli (BTZ) black hole as it freely falls toward and across the horizon.<n>We find outside the horizon that the rates are qualitatively similar, but with the amplitude in the geon spacetime larger than in the BTZ case.<n>In general, the detector can act as an early warning system' that both spots the black hole horizon and discerns its interior topology.

  We propose BH-NeRF, a novel tomography approach that leverages gravitational lensing to recover the continuous 3D emission field near a black hole. Our method captures the unknown emission field using a continuous volumetric function parameterized by a coordinate-based neural network. This work takes the first steps in showing how future measurements from the Event Horizon Telescope could be used to recover evolving 3D emission around the supermassive black hole in our Galactic center.

• Entanglement Harvesting with a Twist [0.0]
  We investigate entanglement outside of an $mathbbRP$ geon by considering the entanglement structure of the vacuum state of a quantum field in this spacetime. We find that detectors with a small energy gap harvest more entanglement in the BTZ spacetime. As the energy gap increases, the detectors harvest more entanglement in a geon spacetime.

  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.

  We study entanglement harvesting in the presence of a rotating BTZ black hole. We find that rotation can significantly amplify the harvested vacuum entanglement.

• Gravitational waves affect vacuum entanglement [68.8204255655161]
  The entanglement harvesting protocol is an operational way to probe vacuum entanglement. Using this protocol, it is demonstrated that while the transition probability of an individual atom is unaffected by the presence of a gravitational wave, the entanglement harvested by two atoms depends sensitively on the frequency of the gravitational wave. This suggests that the entanglement signature left by a gravitational wave may be useful in characterizing its properties, and potentially useful in exploring the gravitational-wave memory effect and gravitational-wave induced decoherence.
