• Abstract: We study the relativistic nature of the interactions that, at tree level, generate spin correlations between two electrons in Møller scattering, as well as in an extended process involving a witness particle $C$. The corresponding processes, $e^{-}e^{-}\rightarrow e^{-}e^{-}$ and $e^{-}e^{-}C\rightarrow e^{-}e^{-}C$, are analyzed both in the center-of-mass frame and, for the former process, in a Lorentz-boosted frame where Wigner rotations arise. It is found that, through a nonrelativistic approximation of the scattering amplitudes, dipole-dipole and current-dipole interactions are responsible for the emergence of these correlations. This is evidenced by the variation of the von Neumann entropy of one electron for initially separable states, and of $C$ for an initially prepared three-particle entangled W-state. In Wigner rotations, the invariance of entropy under local unitary transformations is maintained at the expense of the emergence of quantum coherence in the density matrix at large rapidities. As a consequence, the final states of both particles are evaluated and shown to encode information about the scattering process through their spin expectation values. This framework is then used to comment on the correlations in the inelastic process $e^{-}e^{+}\rightarrowμ^{-}μ^{+}$, for which some research has reported differing results.

  A quantum simulation of magnetism in trapped-ion systems makes use of the crystal vibrations to mediate pairwise interactions between spins. These interactions can be accounted for by a long-wavelength relativistic theory, where the phonons are described by a coarse-grained Klein-Gordon field. We show that thermal effects, which can be controlled by laser cooling, can unveil this flow through the appearance of thermal masses in interacting QFTs.
