Abstract

We investigate the nonseparability of multipartite bosonic and fermionic $GHZ$ and $W$ states in a causal diamond spacetime using the Abe-Rajagopal (AR) $q$-conditional entropy. The finite lifetime of the observer gives rise to a causal diamond horizon, which induces an Unruh-like thermal effect and leads to a nontrivial restructuring of nonseparability in $N$-partite systems. Our main result is that the thermal effect can enhance a net nonseparability of fermionic $W$ states, in sharp contrast to the general expectation that relativistic thermalization leads to a monotonic degradation of bosonic nonseparability. In addition, we find that fermionic nonseparability is generally more robust than its bosonic counterpart under causal diamond restrictions. Among different entangled resources, $GHZ$ states exhibit stronger nonseparability and greater robustness than $W$ states under identical causal conditions. We further show that the nonseparability of $W$ states decreases with increasing particle number $N$, whereas that of $GHZ$ states remains independent of $N$ in causal diamond spacetime. These results demonstrate that particle statistics, entanglement structure, and observer lifetime jointly determine the persistence of nonseparability in causally restricted spacetimes, providing insights for relativistic quantum information processing.

Nonseparability of multipartite systems in dilaton black hole

Shu-Min Wu, Xiao-Wei Teng, Wen-Mei Li +2 more

Abstract We investigate the nonseparability of N-partite quantum systems by employing the Abe-Rajagopal (AR) q -conditional entropy for both free bosonic and fermionic fields in the background of a Garfinkle-Horowitz-Strominger (GHS) dilaton black hole. An intriguing finding is that the Hawking effect of the black hole can generate a net nonseparability of W state for fermionic field. Notably, we observe that fermionic nonseparability exhibits a stronger robustness than its bosonic counterpart, while fermionic coherence is found to be weaker than bosonic coherence within the dilaton black hole background. Additionally, our analysis reveals that the nonseparability of GHZ state is more pronounced than that of W state, yet quantum coherence of GHZ state is comparatively weaker than that of W state in dilaton spacetime. These results suggest that choosing the appropriate quantum resources for different particle types and quantum state configurations is essential for effectively tackling relativistic quantum information tasks.

Entanglement degradation in causal diamonds

Horacio E. Camblong, A. Chakraborty, P. Lopez-Duque +1 more

Entanglement degradation appears to be a generic prediction in relativistic quantum information whenever horizons restrict access to a region of spacetime. This property has been previously explored in connection with the Unruh effect, where a bipartite entangled system composed of an inertial observer (Alice) and a uniformly accelerated observer (Rob) was studied, with entanglement degradation caused by the relative acceleration---and with equivalent results for the case when Alice is freely falling into a black hole and Rob experiences a constant proper acceleration as a stationary near-horizon observer. In this work, we show that a similar degradation also occurs in the case of an entangled system composed of an inertial observer (Alice) and a ``diamond observer'' (Dave) with a finite lifetime. The condition of a finite lifetime is equivalent to the restriction of Dave's access within a causal diamond. Specifically, if the system starts in a maximally entangled state, prepared from Alice's perspective, entanglement degradation is enforced by the presence of the diamond's causal horizons.

Bosonic and fermionic mutual information of N-partite systems in dilaton black hole background

Xiao-Wei Teng, Rui-Yang Xu, Hui-Chen Yang +1 more

We investigate multipartite total amount of correlations by analyzing the mutual information of N-partite states for both free bosonic and fermionic fields in the background of a Garfinkle-Horowitz-Strominger (GHS) dilaton black hole. Focusing on multipartite GHZ and W states, we examine how the Hawking effect influences the N-partite mutual information when one observer hovers near the event horizon while the remaining observers stay in the asymptotically flat region. By tracing over the inaccessible modes inside the event horizon, we derive analytical expressions for the N-partite mutual information in dilaton spacetime for both bosonic and fermionic fields. Our results show that fermionic mutual information is larger than its bosonic counterpart under the influence of the dilaton black hole, whereas the fermionic relative entropy of coherence (REC) is smaller than the bosonic REC. Moreover, the mutual information of GHZ states is consistently larger than that of W states, while the REC of GHZ states is smaller than that of W states in curved spacetime. These findings reveal distinct behaviors of multipartite mutual information and quantum coherence for different particle statistics and multipartite state structures under gravitational effects, providing further insight into many-body total correlations in curved spacetime.

Topology-dependent relativistic degradation of multipartite entanglement

Shu-Min Wu, Si-Han Shang, Xu Han +2 more

The influence of relativistic motion on quantum entanglement is commonly attributed to acceleration-induced thermal noise. Here we show that, for asymmetric multipartite states, the topology of entanglement can become equally important. Considering a three-qubit Star state in the Unruh-DeWitt detector framework, we compare two inequivalent acceleration configurations in which either the central or a peripheral qubit undergoes uniform acceleration. We demonstrate that these physically equivalent accelerations lead to qualitatively different entanglement dynamics: acceleration of a peripheral qubit induces a revival of one-tangle that is absent when the central qubit accelerates, whereas genuine tripartite entanglement decays monotonically but with markedly different robustness. Our results uncover a topology-dependent mechanism for relativistic entanglement degradation, showing that the response of multipartite quantum correlations is determined jointly by Unruh thermalization and the structural role of the accelerated subsystem. This work identifies asymmetric quantum networks as a distinct platform for controlling relativistic quantum resources.

Conditions for separability in multiqubit systems with an accelerating qubit using a conditional entropy

Harsha Miriam Reji, Hemant Shreepad Hegde, R. Prabhu

We study the separability in multiqubit pure and mixed Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (GHZ) and $W$ states with an accelerating qubit using the Abe-Rajagopal (AR) $q$-conditional entropy. We observe that the pure multiqubit GHZ and $W$ states in the inertial-noninertial bipartition with one of their qubits accelerated will remain nonseparable irrespective of the qubit's acceleration. In these systems, we capture the variation of their nonseparability with respect to the acceleration of the qubit and the AR $q$-conditional entropy parameter $q$. However, in the corresponding multiqubit mixed states obtained by introducing a global noise to the above pure states, we could get stronger conditions on their separability in the inertial-noninertial bipartition, in terms of the acceleration of the qubit, the noise parameter, and the number of qubits in the system, in the asymptotic limit of the parameter $q$. These conditions obtained from the AR $q$-conditional entropy serve as necessary conditions for separability in such multiqubit states with a relativistic qubit.

Curvature-enhanced multipartite coherence in the multiverse

Shumin Wu, Chunxu Wang, Ruidi Wang +3 more

Here, we study quantum coherence of N-partite GHZ (Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger) and W states in the multiverse consisting of N causally disconnected de Sitter spaces. Interestingly, N-partite coherence increases monotonically as the curvature increases, while the Unruh effect destroys multipartite coherence in Rindler spacetime. Conversely, the curvature effect destroys quantum entanglement and discord, meaning that the curvature effect is beneficial to quantum coherence and harmful to quantum correlations in the multiverse. We find that, with the increase of n expanding de Sitter spaces, N-partite coherence of GHZ state increases monotonically for any curvature, while quantum coherence of the W state decreases or increases monotonically depending on the curvature. We find a distribution relationship, which indicates that the correlated coherence of N-partite W state is equal to the sum of all bipartite correlated coherence in the multiverse. Multipartite coherence exhibits unique properties in the multiverse, which argues that it may provide some evidence for the existence of the multiverse.
