We present a systematic and complementary study of quantum correlations near a black hole by considering measurement-induced nonlocality (MIN). The quantum measure of interest is discussed for the fermionic, bosonic and mixed fermion–boson modes on equal footing with respect to the Hawking radiation. The obtained results show that in the infinite Hawking temperature limit, the physically accessible correlations do not vanish only in the fermionic case. However, the higher frequency modes can sustain correlations for the finite Hawking temperature, with mixed systems being more sensitive towards the increase in the fermionic frequencies than the bosonic ones. Since the MIN for the latter modes quickly diminishes, the increased frequency may be a way to maintain nonlocal correlations for the scenarios at the finite Hawking temperature.

Recent theoretical studies propose that Hawking radiation may not emerge strictly at the event horizon but rather from the spatially extended region surrounding a black hole, commonly referred to as the quantum atmosphere. In this work, we explore how this concept influences nonlocal quantum correlations in a bosonic bipartite system located at certain distance from a Schwarzschild black hole. By employing the measurement-induced nonlocality (MIN), as a quantifier of quantum correlations, we analyze the response of bosonic fields to the thermal and geometric characteristics associated with the Hartle-Hawking vacuum. In this manner, we extend previous studies that primarily focused on the fermionic systems. Our results reveal that, when quantum atmosphere is taken into account, the behavior of MIN departs from its conventional near-horizon profile. In particular, bosonic nonlocal correlations are found to exhibit a pronounced degradation at a finite radial distance from the event horizon and to ultimately vanish as scaled distance increases further. To some extent this behavior contrasts with the previously considered fermionic case, indicating that bosonic fields provide potentially stronger response to the quantum atmosphere.

In this Letter, we analytically explore the effect of the Hawking radiation on the quantum correlation and Bell non-locality for Dirac particles in the background of Schwarzschild black hole. It is shown that when the Hawking effect is almost nonexistent, corresponding to the case of an almost extreme black hole, the quantum properties of physically accessible state are the same for the initial situation. For finite Hawking temperature T, the accessible quantum correlation monotonously decreases along with increasing T owing to the thermal fields generated by the Hawking effect, and the accessible quantum non-locality will be disappeared when the Hawking temperature is more than a fixed value which increases with the parameter r of Werner state growing. Then we analyze the redistribution of quantum correlation, and find that for the case of the Hawking temperature being infinite, corresponding to the case of the black hole evaporating completely, the quantum correlation of physically accessible state is equal to the one of the inaccessible states. Moreover, due to the Pauli exclusion principle and the differences between Fermi–Dirac and Bose–Einstein statistics, for the Dirac fields the accessible classical correlation decreases with increase of the Hawking temperature, which is different for the scalar fields. For Bell non-locality, we also find that the quantum non-locality is always extinct for physically inaccessible states, and the strength of the non-locality decreases with enlarging intensity of Hawking effect when the non-locality is existent in physically accessible state.
Recently, it was suggested that the Hawking radiation may originate not at the event horizon but in the quantum region outside of it, known as the quantum atmosphere. The present study attempts to explore this argument further by assessing its role in shaping quantum correlations in a bipartite system near a black hole. Herein, these correlations are conveniently captured within the geometric measure of nonlocality, termed as the measurement-induced nonlocality, and found to exhibit signatures of the atmosphere. In particular, a notable loss of the correlations is observed well outside the event horizon, coinciding with the peak of particles radiation in the atmosphere region. Still, the correlations are shown to be always finite therein and to continuously scale with not only the radiation temperature but also with the horizon size. Hence, some characteristics of the atmosphere appears to be detectable at the quantum correlations level, providing novel insight and means to help verify the concept of interest.
We investigate quantum state texture, genuine multipartite entanglement, and tripartite nonlocality of a tripartite mixed state in the black hole quantum atmosphere. By introducing the Hartle-Hawking local temperature into the Bogoliubov coefficients, we characterize the influence of the local Hawking effect on both physically accessible and inaccessible reduced states. We find that the extrema of these three quantities all lie in the same near horizon region and shift outward with increasing local Hawking temperature, coinciding with the peak region of the local Hawking temperature and indicating that different aspects of tripartite quantum information are most sensitive to the local Hawking effect in the same atmospheric region. In contrast to genuine multipartite entanglement, tripartite nonlocality is more fragile and is suppressed under stronger local Hawking effects. These results provide a unified characterization of density matrix restructuring, entanglement redistribution, and nonlocality in tripartite mixed states affected by the black hole quantum atmosphere.
Abstract We transfer the scenario of quantum network nonlocal correlation to the vicinity of a black hole’s event horizon, aiming to evaluate the impact of Hawking effect on network nonlocality within this specific context. In an entanglement swapping network with two bipartite resources and three parties, we examine two scenarios with distinct Hawking radiation locations: one where it affects the endpoint parties’ system and another where it impacts all parties’ system. In both cases, network nonlocality decays due to Hawking radiation and disappears entirely when the Hawking temperature reaches a critical threshold. However, we observe a striking phenomenon: when resource states are maximally entangled and the affected system belongs to the endpoint participants, network nonlocality diminishes but does not vanish throughout the radiation process. Subsequently, we extend our investigation to star and chain networks to evaluate how resource quantity and distribution influence network nonlocality under Hawking radiation. Our results indicate that star networks exhibit greater resilience against Hawking radiation in maintaining nonlocality.
