Hawking effects as a noisy quantum channel

Abstract

In this work, we have shown that the evolution of the bipartite entangled state near the black hole with the Hawking radiation can be described by a noisy quantum channel, having a complete positive map with an “operator sum representation.” The entanglement fidelity is obtained in analytic form from the “operator sum representation.” The bipartite entangled state becomes bipartite mixed Gaussian state as the black hole evaporates. By comparing negativity and entanglement monotone with the analytical form of the entanglement fidelity, we found that the negativity and the entanglement monotone for s = 1/2 provide the upper and the lower bounds of the entanglement fidelity, respectively.

Unruh effect as a noisy quantum channel

Doyeol Ahn

We studied the change of the nonlocal correlation of the entanglement in Rindler space-time by showing that the Unruh effect can be interpreted as a noisy quantum channel having a complete positive and trace preserving map with an ``operator sum representation.'' It is shown that the entanglement fidelity is obtained in analytic form from the operator sum representation, which agrees well numerically with the entanglement monotone and the entanglement measure obtained previously. Nonzero entropy exchange between the system $Q$ and region II of the Rindler wedge indicates the nonlocal correlation between causally disconnected regions. We have also shown the subadditivity of entropies numerically.

Hawking Effects on the Entanglement near a Schwarzschild Black Hole

Doyeol Doyeol

Hawking radiation effects on an entangled pair near the event horizon of a Schwarzschild black hole are investigated. The Hawking radiation was found to degrade both the quantum coherence of the entangled state and the mutual correlations of the entangled pair. When the black hole evaporated completely, the measure of entanglement vanished, but the classical correlation between the entangled pair still remained.

Dynamics of Entanglement in Schwarzschild Black Holes

Fang Xie, Ying Yang, Tinggui Zhang +1 more

To characterize the effect of Hawking radiation induced by the quantum atmosphere beyond the event horizon on entanglement, we employ concurrence as the entanglement measure for a bipartite mixed state and investigate its evolution with Hawking temperature. We find that the physically accessible concurrence decreases as the Hawking acceleration increases, whereas the physically inaccessible concurrence exhibits the opposite behavior, increasing monotonically from zero. We further establish several trade-off relations on concurrence, revealing its distribution between physically accessible and inaccessible regions. Additionally, we study the dynamics of concurrence under three types of channel noise. The results indicate that the evolution of concurrence depends on the specific noise channel: unlike the phase damping channel, sudden death of concurrence occurs in both phase flip and bit flip channels, the concurrence exhibits a certain symmetry with respect to the noise parameter during its evolution under bit flip channel noise.

How the Hawking effect affects multipartite entanglement of Dirac particles in the background of a Schwarzschild black hole

Shuai Xu, Xue‐Ke Song, Jiadong Shi +1 more

In this paper, the effect of Hawking radiation on the multipartite entanglement of Dirac particles in the background of a Schwarzschild black hole is investigated. It is shown that all the 1-tangles decrease as the Hawking temperature grows, and the Coffman--Kundu--Wootters monogamy inequality is always saturated in this system. It is also shown that the entanglement's status of subsystems, which have the same quantum state, depend on its detector's position, and this proposition can be generalized to a multipartite system. Then, we find that the Hawking effect does not change the entanglement structure of the quantum state in Schwarzschild space-time. In addition, we discuss the distributions of quantum information and find that not only is the entanglement redistributed, but also the mutual information is distributed to the physical inaccessible region. At last, we calculate the mutual information of a $N$-qubit multipartite system, ${|\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Psi}}⟩}_{123\dots{}N}={(\ensuremath{\beta}{|0⟩}^{\ensuremath{\bigotimes}N}+\sqrt{1\ensuremath{-}{\ensuremath{\beta}}^{2}}{|1⟩}^{\ensuremath{\bigotimes}N})}_{123\dots{}N}$, and draw a conclusion that when the black hole approximates to evaporate completely the mutual information of this system will be close to $(N\ensuremath{-}1)/N$ of the original if a particle freely falls in toward a Schwarzschild black hole and locates near the event horizon, and the other particles remain in the asymptotically flat region.

Quantum circuit model of black hole evaporation

Tomoro Tokusumi, Akira Matsumura, Yasusada Nambu

Abstract We consider a quantum circuit model describing the evaporation process of black holes. We specifically examine the behavior of the multipartite entanglement represented by this model, and find that the entanglement structure depends on the black hole mass M and the frequency of the Hawking radiation ω . For sufficiently small values of , the black hole and the radiation system becomes a separable state after the Page time and a firewall-like structure appears. On the contrary, for larger values of , the entanglement between the black hole and the radiation is not lost. These behaviors imply that owing to the monogamy property of the multipartite entanglement, low frequency modes of the Hawking radiation destroy the quantum correlation between the black hole and the emitted Hawking radiation.

Quantum Aspects of Stimulated Hawking Radiation in an Optical Analog White-Black Hole Pair

Iván Agulló, Anthony J. Brady, Dimitrios Kranas

This Letter introduces a synergistic combination of analytical and numerical methods to study the Hawking effect in optical systems containing the analog of a white-black hole pair. Our analytical treatment, based on techniques from Gaussian quantum information, provides a simple and efficient model to describe all aspects of the out-state, including the entanglement between any bipartition. We complement the study with a numerical analysis and apply our tools to investigate the influence that ambient thermal noise and detector inefficiencies have on the out-state. We find that aspects of the Hawking effect that are of quantum origin, i.e., quantum entanglement, are extremely fragile to the influence of inefficiencies and noise. We propose a protocol to amplify and observe these quantum aspects, based on seeding the process with a single-mode squeezed input, opening the door to new possibilities for experimental verification of the Hawking effect.
