Gravitational waves affect vacuum entanglement

Qidong Xu, Shadi Ali Ahmad, Alexander R. H. Smith

The entanglement harvesting protocol is an operational way to probe vacuum entanglement. This protocol relies on two atoms, modelled by Unruh-DeWitt detectors, that are initially u…

Quantum time dilation: A new test of relativistic quantum theory

Alexander R. H. Smith

A novel quantum time dilation effect is shown to arise when a clock moves in a quantum superposition of two relativistic velocities. This effect is argued to be measurable using ex…

The BTZ black hole exhibits anti-Hawking phenomena

Laura J. Henderson, Robie A. Hennigar, Robert B. Mann +2

The Unruh effect is a surprising prediction of quantum field theory that asserts accelerating observers perceive a thermal spectrum of particles with a temperature proportional to…

Quantum satellites and tests of relativity

Piergiovanni Magnani, Matteo Schiavon, Alexander R. H. Smith +5

Deployment of quantum technology in space provides opportunities for new types of precision tests of gravity. On the other hand, the operational demands of such technology can make…

Communicating without shared reference frames

Alexander R. H. Smith

We generalize a quantum communication protocol introduced by Bartlett et al. [New. J. Phys. 11, 063013 (2009)] in which two parties communicating do not share a classical reference…

Entangling detectors in anti-de Sitter space

Laura J. Henderson, Robie A. Hennigar, Robert B. Mann +2

We examine in -dimensional anti-de Sitter (AdS) space the phenomena of entanglement harvesting - the process in which a pair of detectors (two-level atoms) extract entanglem…
