Gaussian quantum steering under the influence of a dilaton black hole

Abstract

Abstract We study the dynamics of Gaussian quantum steering in the background of a Garfinkle–Horowitz–Strominger dilaton black hole. It is found that the gravity induced by dilaton field will destroy the quantum steerability between the inertial observer Alice and the observer Bob who hovers outside the event horizon, while it generates steering-type quantum correlations between the causally disconnected regions. Therefore, the observers can steer each other’s state by local measurements even though they are separated by the event horizon. Unlike quantum entanglement in the dilaton spacetime, the quantum steering experiences catastrophic behaviors such as “sudden death” and “sudden birth” with increasing dilaton charge. In addition, the dilaton gravity destroys the symmetry of Gaussian steering and the latter is always asymmetric in the dilation spacetime. Interestingly, the attainment of maximal steering asymmetry indicates the critical point between one-way and two-way steering for the two-mode Gaussian state in the dilaton spacetime.

Gaussian quantum steering and its asymmetry in curved spacetime

Jieci Wang, Haixin Cao, Jiliang Jing +1 more

We study Gaussian quantum steering and its asymmetry in the background of a Schwarzschild black hole. We present a Gaussian channel description of quantum state evolution under the influence of Hawking radiation. We find that thermal noise introduced by the Hawking effect will destroy the steerability between an inertial observer Alice and an accelerated observer Bob who hovers outside the event horizon, while it generates steerability between Bob and a hypothetical observer anti-Bob inside the event horizon. Unlike entanglement behaviors in curved spacetime, here the steering from Alice to Bob suffers from a ``sudden death'' and the steering from anti-Bob to Bob experiences a ``sudden birth'' with increasing Hawking temperature. We also find that the Gaussian steering is always asymmetric and the maximum steering asymmetry cannot exceed $\mathrm{ln}2$, which means the state never evolves to an extremal asymmetry state. Furthermore, we obtain the parameter settings that maximize steering asymmetry and find that (i) $s=\mathrm{arccosh}\frac{{\mathrm{cosh}}^{2}r}{1\ensuremath{-}{\mathrm{sinh}}^{2}r}$ is the critical point of steering asymmetry and (ii) the attainment of maximal steering asymmetry indicates the transition between one-way steerability and both-way steerability for the two-mode Gaussian state under the influence of Hawking radiation.

Generation of quantum coherence for continuous variables between causally disconnected regions in dilaton spacetime

Qinglong Xiao, Cuihong Wen, Jiliang Jing +1 more

Abstract We study the dynamics of Gaussian quantum coherence under the background of a Garfinkle–Horowitz–Strominger dilaton black hole. It is shown that the dilaton field has evident effects on the degree of coherence for all the bipartite subsystems. The bipartite Gaussian coherence is not affected by the frequency of the scalar field for an uncharged or an extreme dilaton black hole. It is found that the initial coherence is not completely destroyed even for an extreme dilaton black hole, which is quite different from the behavior of quantum steering because the latter suffers from a “sudden death” under the same conditions. This is nontrivial because one can employ quantum coherence as a resource for quantum information processing tasks even if quantum correlations have been destroyed by the strong gravitational field. In addition, it is demonstrated that the generation of quantum coherence between the initial separable modes is easier for low-frequency scalar fields. At the same time, quantum coherence is smoothly generated betweenone pair of partners and exhibits a “sudden birth” behavior between another pairs in the curved spacetime.

Fermionic steering is not nonlocal in the background of dilaton black hole

Shu-Min Wu, Jinxuan Li, Xiao-Ying Jiang +3 more

Abstract We study the redistribution of the fermionic steering and the relation among fermionic Bell nonlocality, steering, and entanglement in the background of the Garfinkle–Horowitz–Strominger dilaton black hole. We analyze the meaning of the fermionic steering in terms of the Bell inequality in curved spacetime. We find that the fermionic steering, which is previously found to survive in the extreme dilaton black hole, cannot be considered to be nonlocal. We also find that the dilaton gravity can redistribute the fermionic steering, but cannot redistribute Bell nonlocality, which means that the physically inaccessible steering is also not nonlocal. Unlike the inaccessible entanglement, the inaccessible steering may increase non-monotonically with the dilaton. Furthermore, we obtain some monogamy relations between the fermionic steering and entanglement in dilaton spacetime. In addition, we show the difference between the fermionic and bosonic steering in curved spacetime.

Gaussian tripartite steering in Schwarzschild black hole

Shu-Min Wu, Haoyu Wu, Yuxuan Wang +1 more

Multipartite steering is a fundamental quantum resource that is uniquely suited to tackling complex relativistic quantum information challenges, but its properties in the gravitational field context remain to be elucidated. We study the distribution of Gaussian tripartite steering in the background of a Schwarzschild black hole. Our results show that physically accessible 2 → 1 steerability remains robust at any Hawking temperature, which contrasts with the behavior of 1 → 1 steering that experiences “sudden death” as the Hawking temperature increases, making 2 → 1 steerability a more reliable candidate for relativistic quantum information tasks. Notably, we observe that the sudden death of quantum steering is accompanied by a peak in steering asymmetry, signifying a critical transition from two-way steering to one-way steering in the relativistic three-mode system. We find that the Hawking effect can generate inaccessible two-way steering of a bipartite system in both directions, as shown in Wang et al. (2016) [73] , while it can only generate physically inaccessible one-way 2 → 1 steering in tripartite systems. These insights enhance our understanding of the redistribution of multipartite steering near the event horizon of the black hole.

Sharing of Gaussian tripartite steering in de-Sitter space

Xin-Ze Song, Xiao-Li Huang, Shu-Min Wu

We investigate the redistribution and directional properties of Gaussian tripartite quantum steering in de-Sitter space within the continuous-variable framework. By expressing the Bunch-Davies vacuum in terms of the open-chart modes through a Bogoliubov transformation, we derive the covariance matrix of the resulting multipartite Gaussian state and analyze both one-to-two and two-to-one steering configurations. We find that de-Sitter curvature generally suppresses the steering initially shared among the accessible modes, but its influence depends strongly on the steering direction. In particular, while some steering configurations undergo sudden death at finite curvature, two-to-one steering toward a nongravitational mode remains finite throughout the parameter range considered, demonstrating a robustness of tripartite steering absent in its bipartite counterpart. Remarkably, the maximum steering asymmetry occurs at the critical point at which steering in one direction undergoes sudden death, marking the transition from two-way to one-way steering. We further show that the de-Sitter gravitational field can generate tripartite steering involving modes separated by the cosmological horizon. Depending on the steering partition, this curvature-induced steering exhibits persistent one-way or asymmetric two-way behavior, as well as a sudden-birth transition from one-way to two-way steering. These results demonstrate that de-Sitter curvature not only degrades preexisting quantum correlations but also redistributes and generates directional multipartite steering across causally disconnected regions.

Gaussian quantum steering in multi-event horizon spacetime

Shu-Min Wu, Jinxuan Li, Xiaowei Fan +3 more

Abstract We study Gaussian quantum steering in the Schwarzschild–de Sitter (SdS) spacetime that is endowed with both a black hole event horizon (BEH) and a cosmological event horizon (CEH), giving rise to two different Hawking temperatures. It is shown that the Hawking effect of the black hole always reduces the quantum steering, but the Hawking effect of the expanding universe does not always play the same role. For the first time, we find that the Hawking effect can improve quantum steering. We also find that the observer who locates in the BEH has stronger steerability than the observer who locates in CEH. Further, we study the steering asymmetry, and the conditions for two-way, one-way and no-way steering in the SdS spacetime. Finally, we study the Gaussian quantum steering in the scenario of effective equilibrium temperature. We show that quantum steering reduces monotonically with the effective temperature but now increases monotonically with the Hawking temperature of the black hole, which banishes the belief that the Hawking effect can only destroy quantum steering.
