Entanglement between accelerated probes in a de Sitter spacetime
arXiv:2502.20874 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.111.105022
Abstract
We initiate an investigation into features of vacuum entanglement as probed by accelerated quantum probes in curved spacetime. Focussing specifically on de Sitter (dS) spacetime with curvature , we obtain several exact results corresponding to different kinematical set-up of the probes. The interaction with the quantum field creates a non-local correlation between initially uncorrelated probes accelerating in different directions. It is well known that a single quantum probe in dS spacetime with uniform acceleration responds exactly as a quantum probe in Minkowski spacetime with "effective" acceleration . However, no such mapping generically exists for the entanglement between probes. Our results suggest that entanglement exhibits independent variations with changes in acceleration and curvature depending on different configurations of detector motion.
