Killing quantum entanglement by acceleration or a black hole

Abstract: We consider two entangled accelerating qubits coupled with real scalar fields, each described by the Unruh-Wald model. It is demonstrated that because of the Unruh effect of the fields, the bipartite entanglement between the two qubits suddenly dies when the acceleration of one or more qubits are large enough. We also consider three entangled accelerating qubits in GHZ state and in W state, with equal acceleration-frequency ratio, and found that in either state, the tripartite entanglement suddenly dies at a c… Show more

“…An interesting way for this is to see the change of quantum entanglement by acceleration. According to the previous results [22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30], the quantum entanglement would be degraded by the Unruh effect, which is similar to the results caused by the thermal background. However, a recent calculation showed that the anti-Unruh effect can lead to the increase for the quantum entanglement for the bipartite [31] and many-body quantum states [32].…”

“…Experiments have shown [3] that when the height of atomic clocks changes to 33 cm, the gravity frequency shift effect has a significant effect on the accuracy of atomic clocks. Furthermore, many theoretical researchers have considered the dynamical behaviors of the system in the context of relativity [4][5][6][7][8][9][10]. In particular, the Hawking effect, i.e., the particle creation process that gives rise to a thermal spectrum of radiation outgoing from a black hole, has a significant effect on the quantum entanglement [11,12], quantum discord [13] and some other information quantities [14].…”

“…Entanglement between Unruh-Wald detectors of boson fields have also been studied and it was found that when one or more detectors accelerate, entanglement quickly degrades, and suddenly dies at finite values of the accelerations [22][23][24].…”
