Bipartite and tripartite entanglement in pure dephasing relativistic spin-boson model

Abstract

We study nonperturbatively the entanglement generation between two and three emitters in an exactly solvable relativistic variant of the spin-boson model, equivalent to the time-independent formulation of the Unruh-DeWitt detector model. We show that (i) (highly) entangled states of the two emitters require interactions very deep into the light cone, (ii) the mass of the field can generically improve the entanglement generation, (iii) while it is possible to find regimes with genuine Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger-like tripartite entanglement, it is difficult find regimes where tripartite entanglement can be easily shown to be significant or classified. Result (iii), in particular, suggests that probing the multipartite entanglement of a relativistic quantum field nonperturbatively requires either different probe-based techniques or variants of the Unruh-DeWitt model. Along the way, we provide the regularity conditions for the $N$-emitter model to have well-defined ground states in the Fock space.
