Entanglement behavior of quantum states of fermionic systems in an accelerated frame

Abstract

In this paper, we investigate the behavior of bipartite entanglement of fermionic systems when one of the parties is traveling with a uniform acceleration. For the ordering problem in fermionic systems, we apply the recent result of Montero and Mart\'{\i}n-Mart\'{\i}nez [Phys. Rev. A 83, 052306 (2011)]. Based on the approach, we consider both pure and mixed entangled states, and we show that the behavior in terms of the entanglement measure (negativity) allows one to obtain physical results, i.e., its convergence in the infinite acceleration. The behavior shows that the ordering employed is relevant to derive physical results for fermionic entanglement. This also corrects the previous analysis of Mart\'{\i}n-Mart\'{\i}nez and Fuentes.

Entanglement amplification of fermionic systems in an accelerated frame

Younghun Kwon, Jinho Chang

In this Brief Report we present an analysis deriving physical results in the entanglement amplification of fermonic systems in the relativistic regime, that is, beyond the single-mode approximation. This leads a recent work by Montero and Mart\'{\i}n-Mart\'{\i}nez [J. High Energy Phys. 07 (2011) 006] to a physical result, and confirms that the phenomenon of entanglement amplification can actually happen in the relativistic regime.

Convergence of fermionic-field entanglement at infinite acceleration in relativistic quantum information

Miguel Montero, Eduardo Martín-Martínez

We provide a simple argument showing that in the limit of infinite acceleration, the entanglement in a fermionic-field bipartite system must be independent of the choice of Unruh modes. This implies that most tensor product structures used previously to compute field entanglement in relativistic quantum information cannot give rise to physical results.

Tripartite Entanglements in Non-inertial Frames

Mahmoud Shamirzai, Esfahani, Bahram Nasr, Morteza Soltani

Entanglement degradation caused by the Unruh effect is discussed for the tripartite GHZ or W states constructed by modes of a non-interacting quantum field viewed by one inertial observer and two uniformly accelerated observers. For fermionic states, the Unruh effect even for infinite accelerations cannot completely remove the entanglement. However, for the bosonic states, the situation is different and the entanglement vanishes asymptotically. Also, the entanglement is studied for the bipartite subsystems. While for the GHZ states all the bipartite subsystems are identically disentangled, for the W states the bipartite subsystems are somewhat entangled, though, this entanglement can be removed for appropriately accelerated observers. Interestingly, logarithmic negativity as a measure for determining the entanglement of one part of the system relative to the other two parts, is not generally the same for different parts. This means that we encounter tripartite systems where each part is differently entangled to the other two parts.

Genuine Entanglement of a Multipartite GHZ State in Non‐Inertial Frame

Reza Hamzehofi, Mehrzad Ashrafpour, Davood Afshar

Abstract This research investigates the entanglement properties of multipartite GHZ states of bosonic and fermionic fields, particularly in scenarios where some parties are uniformly accelerated. The analysis incorporates perspectives from both inertial and non‐inertial observers. Entanglement is quantified using the Π‐tangle for GHZ states and the one‐tangle for multipartite GHZ states. To facilitate this analysis, the study derives the density matrices for the multipartite GHZ states with m uniformly accelerated parties (). The results reveal that entanglement diminishes as the acceleration parameter increases, with accelerated observers experiencing less entanglement compared to their inertial counterparts. In the bosonic case, genuine entanglement is entirely lost for non‐inertial observers at high accelerations, whereas inertial observers still experience it. In the fermionic case, however, genuine entanglement is not completely eliminated when the number of accelerated parties is limited. Furthermore, the decrease in entanglement is proportional to the number of accelerated parties, approaching zero as m tends to infinity ().

Multipartite entanglement of fermionic systems in noninertial frames

Jieci Wang, Jiliang Jing

The bipartite and tripartite entanglement of a 3-qubit fermionic system when one or two subsystems accelerate are investigated. It is shown that all the one-tangles decrease as the acceleration increases. However, unlike the scalar case, here one-tangles ${\mathcal{N}}_{{C}_{I}({\mathrm{AB}}_{I})}$ and ${\mathcal{N}}_{{C}_{I}(\mathrm{AB})}$ never reduce to zero for any acceleration. It is found that the system has only tripartite entanglement when either one or two subsystems accelerate, which means that the acceleration does not generate bipartite entanglement and does not affect the entanglement structure of the quantum states in this system. It is of interest to note that the $\ensuremath{\pi}$-tangle of the two-observer-accelerated case decreases much quicker than that of the one-observer-accelerated case and it reduces to a nonzero minimum in the infinite-acceleration limit. Thus we argue that the qutrit systems are better than qubit systems in performing quantum information processing tasks in noninertial systems.

Entanglement negativity of fermions: Monotonicity, separability criterion, and classification of few-mode states

Hassan Shapourian, Shinsei Ryu

We study quantum information aspects of the fermionic entanglement negativity recently introduced [H. Shapourian et al., Phys. Rev. B 95, 165101 (2017)] based on the fermionic partial transpose. In particular, we show that it is an entanglement monotone under the action of local quantum operations and classical communications, which preserves the local fermion-number parity, and satisfies other common properties expected for an entanglement measure of mixed states. We present fermionic analogs of tripartite entangled states such as $W$ and Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger states and compare the results of bosonic and fermionic partial transpose in various fermionic states, where we explain why the bosonic partial transpose fails in distinguishing separable states of fermions. Finally, we explore a set of entanglement quantities which distinguish different classes of entangled states of a system with two and three fermionic modes. In doing so, we prove that vanishing entanglement negativity is a necessary and sufficient condition for separability of $N\ensuremath{\ge}2$ fermionic modes with respect to the bipartition into one mode and the rest. We further conjecture that the entanglement negativity of inseparable states which mix local fermion-number parity is always nonvanishing.
