Abstract

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.

Signatures of the black hole quantum atmosphere in nonlocal correlations

Adam Z. Kaczmarek, Dominik Szczęśniak

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.

Measurement-Induced Nonlocality for Observers Near a Black Hole

Adam Z. Kaczmarek, Dominik Szczęśniak, Sabre Kais

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.

Nonlocal correlation in quantum network near a Schwarzschild black hole

Ji Jia, Kan He, Shu-Yuan Yang

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.

Evolution of quantum imaginarity in black hole quantum atmosphere

Ruopu Sun, Xiaofen Huang

Quantum imaginarity, as a critical resource metric for quantifying intrinsic nonreal coherence encoded in quantum states, exhibits nontrivial evolutionary behaviors in curved spacetime backgrounds. This work focuses on bipartite Dirac field reduced states in the quantum atmosphere of a static Schwarzschild black hole, aiming to explore the modulation of three mainstream imaginarity measures by Hawking thermal radiation. We reveal that the relative-entropy imaginarity, the geometric imaginarity and robustness of imaginarity, the fully accessible state presents a valley-shaped radial profile with a local minimum inside the quantum atmosphere, while the cross-coupling and fully inaccessible states follow opposite peak-shaped trends. Further analysis demonstrates that the Hartle-Hawking constant significantly strengthens the redistribution effect of imaginarity across both regions, whereas an increase in the event horizon radius weakens such redistribution and flattens the extremum features. These findings offer a new perspective for decoding the information structure of black hole quantum atmospheres and the intrinsic quantum nature of Hawking radiation.

Quantum resource theories in quantum atmosphere

Shuai Zhang, Dong Wang

Recent progress suggests that Hawking radiation originates not from the black hole’s event horizon but from a quantum atmosphere outside the horizon. Consider this, the current work focuses on revealing the effect of the quantum atmosphere on various quantum resources in the Schwarzschild black hole, including nonlocal advantage of quantum coherence (NAQC), Bell nonlocality, quantum steering, and quantum discord (QD). Interestingly, it is found that the quantumness of the accessible region is strongest near the event horizon, and will decline as the particle is far away from it. Furthermore, the hierarchical relationship among the concerned quantum resources are shown, i.e., the NAQC represent a stronger quantum correlation compared to quantum steering and Bell nonlocality, implying that a bipartite state achieving NAQC must also be steerable and Bell nonlocal. Additionally, we examine the monogamy relation of quantum discord in the quantum atmosphere framework. It turns out that the squared quantum discord (SQD) is monogamous, whereas quantum discord (QD) is not. Furthermore, it is verified that the bipartite QD constrains the sum of SQD in physically accessible and inaccessible regions. This current study sheds light on the quantumness in quantum atmosphere, and facilitate us understand information paradox of black holes from the viewpoint of quantum resource theories.
