Tree-level entanglement in Quantum Electrodynamics

Abstract

We report on a systematic study on the entanglement between helicity degrees of freedom generated at tree-level in quantum electrodynamics two-particle scattering processes. We determine the necessary and sufficient dynamical conditions for outgoing particles to be entangled with one another, and expose the hitherto unknown generation of maximal or nearly maximal entanglement through Bhabha and Compton scattering. Our work is an early step in revisiting quantum field theory and high-energy physics in the light of quantum information theory.
