Entanglement in a holographic Schwinger pair with confinement

Abstract

We revisit the entanglement of a Schwinger pair created by external fields of arbitrary strength, using a holographic dual description of QCD. When external fields are strong in comparison to the string tension, the entanglement is geometrically tied to the Einstein-Rosen (ER) bridge in the bulk, and disappears when the pair production is not exponentially suppressed at the boundary. For moderate external fields, the entanglement is shown to follow from the geometrical interplay between the position of the ER bridge and the confining wall in the bulk. We clarify the physical nature of quantum entanglement in pair production, and connect it to the entropy of entanglement between the left- and right-moving fermions. In particular, we clarify the effect of real radiation off the produced particles on quantum entanglement of the pair.
