• Abstract: The eigenstates of two test-masses (where each test-mass is placed inside of a harmonic trap) separated by a distance, can get entangled where gravity acts as the mediator of entanglement and it has been argued in \href{https://doi.org/10.48550/arXiv.2511.07348}{arXiv:2511.07348 [quant-ph]} that this entanglement of masses cannot be generated without the underlying quantum nature of gravity. In this work, we consider two non-relativistic Bose-Einstein condensates (formed inside of harmonic trap potentials with identical trapping frequencies) separated by a distance. We take a linearized quantum gravity model and investigate the generation of entanglement while gravitons serve as the mediator of entanglement. The entanglement is generated between the phonon modes of the two condensates, and we observe that for very low separation distance, the entanglement generated is significantly higher than that observed for the quantum gravity induced entanglement of masses or QGEM protocol; however, the fall of entanglement is faster than the two-particle case for two separated Bose-Einstein condensates. We observe that when the number of particles in the condensate is increased, the degree of entanglement for a smaller separation distance becomes substantially higher compared to the case discussed in \href{https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevD.105.106028}{Phys. Rev. D 105 (2022) 106028}, which allows for a more robust experimental proposal using this quantum gravity induced entanglement of phonons or QGEP protocol.

  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.

  Einstein, Podolsky and Rosen (EPR) conceived a Gedankenexperiment which became a cornerstone of quantum technology and still challenges our understanding of reality and locality today. We observe the EPR paradox in an experiment with two spatially separated Bose-Einstein condensates containing about 700 Rubidium atoms each. Our results show that the conflict between quantum mechanics and local realism does not disappear as the system size is increased to over a thousand massive particles.

  We study a range of different experimental set-ups, considering different geometries and the number of spatially superposed states taken, in order to determine which would generate entanglement faster. We conclude that without decoherence, and given a maximum distance $Delta x$ between any two spatial states of a superposition, a set of two qubits placed in spatial superposition parallel to one another will outperform all other models.
