• Abstract: We employ the quantum Boltzmann equation to analyze the gravitationally generated entanglement between two remote qubits by considering two explicit microscopic models. A graviton propagator is employed as the mediator of the interactions, while the qubits are considered in a spatial superposition state. Such a setup, in the case of any entanglement generation, could potentially offer experimental evidence for the quantization of gravity. By treating the qubits as spin-1/2 particles in wave packets, we establish that the entanglement arises from forward scattering processes involving graviton exchanges. In our study, we consider both static and dynamical limits of the propagator and show that only in the dynamical limit such entangled states can be generated. We also show that for the microscopic model based on the fermion particles in the background of magnetic field, the amount of entanglement depends on the Larmor frequency of the qubits, rather than their masses. These effects are observed to diminish in both models as the wave packet size increases. Our findings sheds more light into the gravity mediated entanglement between two spin-1/2 particles.

  Quasiparticles are emergent excitations of matter that underlie much of our understanding of quantum many-body systems. We take advantage of the clean setting of homogeneous quantum gases and fast radio-frequency control to manipulate Fermi polarons. We measure the decay rate and the quasiparticle residue of the driven polaron from the Rabi oscillations between the two internal states.

  We present an experimental proposal for the rapid preparation of the center of mass of a levitated particle in a macroscopic quantum state. This state is prepared by letting the particle evolve in a static double-well potential after a sudden switchoff of the harmonic trap. We highlight the possibility of using two particles, one evolving in each potential well, to mitigate the impact of collective sources of noise and decoherence.

  Quantum aspects of gravity, such as massive gravitons, can emerge in experiments with fractional quantum Hall liquids. We employ (2+1)-dimensional Dirac fermions, emerging in the continuous limit of a fermionic honeycomb lattice, coupled to massive gravitons, simulated by bosonic modes. The similarity of our approach to current optical lattice configurations suggests that quantum signatures of gravity can be simulated in the laboratory in the near future.

• 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.

  We show that the Zitterbewegung effect manifests itself as a series of quantum beats of the particle density in the long-time limit. We also find a time-domain where the particle density of the point source is governed by the propagation of a main wavefront. The relative positions of these wavefronts are used to investigate the time-delay of quantum waves in the Klein-tunneling regime.
