Recent Developments in Quantum Physics Asher Peres’ 70’th Birthday Honour of In 1-2, 2004February Vacuum Entanglement B. Reznik (Tel Aviv Univ.) Alonso Botero (Los Andes Univ. Columbia) Alex Retzker (Tel Aviv Univ.) Jonathan Silman (Tel Aviv Univ.) Vacuum Entanglement Motivation: QI Fundamentals: A B SR QM QI: natural set up to study Ent. causal structure ! LO. H1, many body Ent. . Q. Phys.: Can Ent. shed light on “quantum effects”? (low temp. Q. coherences, Q. phase transitions, BH Ent. Entropy.) Background Continuum results: BH Entanglement entropy: Unruh (76), Bombelli et. Al. (86), Srednicki (93) Callan & Wilczek (94) . Albebraic Field Theory: Summers & Werner (85), Halvason & Clifton (2000). Entanglement probes: Reznik (2000), Reznik, Retzker & Silman (2003). Discrete models: Harmonic chain: Audenaert et. al (2002), Botero & Reznik (2004). Spin chains: Wootters (2001), Nielsen (2002), Latorre et. al. (2003). (I) Are A and B entangled? (II) Are Bells' inequalities violated? A B (III) Where does ent. “come from”? (I) Are A and B entangled? Yes, for arbitrary separation. ("Atom probes”). A B (II) Are Bells' inequalities violated? Yes, for arbitrary separation. (Filtration, “hidden” non-locality). (III) Where does it “come from”? Localization, shielding. (Harmonic Chain). L cT A pair of causally disconnected atoms A B Causal Structure For L>cT, we have [A,B]=0 Therefore UINT=UA UB (LO) ETotal =0, but EAB >0. (Ent. Swapping) Vacuum ent ! Atom ent. Lower bound. (Why not the use direct approach? simplicity, 4£ 4, vs. 1£ 1 but wait to the second part.)

Finally, we use Peres’s (96) partial transposition criteria to check non-separability and use the Negativity as a measure.

Pi= vi pi Quantifies the participation of the local (qi, pi) oscillators in the collective coordinates (Qi,Pi) “normal modes” within each block. Mode Shapes Botero, Reznik (2004). Discussion Atom Probes: Vacuum Entanglement can be swapped (In theory) to atoms. Bell’s inequalities are violated (hidden non-locality). Ent. reduces exponentially with the separation, High probe frequencies are needed for large separation. Harmonic Chain: Persistence of ent. for large separation is linked with localization of the interior modes. This seem to provide a mechanism for “shielding” entanglement from exterior regions. (Therefore in spin or harmonic chains entanglement between single sites truncates.)
