Entanglement decoherence in a gravitational well according to the event formalism
arXiv:1406.3677 · doi:10.1088/1367-2630/16/8/085008
Abstract
The event formalism is a non-linear extension of quantum field theory designed to be compatible with the closed time-like curves that appear in general relativity. Whilst reducing to standard quantum field theory in flat space-time the formalism leads to testably different predictions for entanglement distribution in curved space. In this paper we introduce a more general version of the formalism and use it to analyse the practicality of an experimental test of its predictions in the earth's gravitational well.
