Effect of relativistic acceleration on tripartite entanglement of Gaussian states

Abstract

The performance of quantum information protocols can be impacted by the noninertial motion of parties such as in a gravitational field. Previous studies have primarily focused on the degradation of entanglement for global modes, revealing that bipartite entanglement vanishes in the limit of large acceleration, whereas tripartite entanglement does not. In this study, we examine the impact of acceleration on tripartite Gaussian resource states encoded in spatially localized wave packets. Contrarily to prior findings, we observe that genuine tripartite entanglement (GTE) vanishes in the limit of large acceleration for various initial states and observer trajectories.

Effect of relativistic acceleration on tripartite entanglement in Gaussian states

Jan A. Szypulski, Piotr T. Grochowski, Kacper Dębski +1 more

Efficiencies of quantum information protocols can be affected by the noninertial motion of involved parties, e.g., in a gravitational field. Most of the previous studies focused on the effects of such a motion on a bipartite entanglement as a resource. We show how a tripartite Gaussian resource state of continuous variables is affected by the acceleration of the observers. Specifically, we analyze how genuine tripartite entanglement degrades due to the motion for various initial states and trajectories of the involved parties.

Tripartite entanglement in a noninertial frame

Mi-Ra Hwang, DaeKil Park, Eylee Jung

Tripartite entanglement is examined when one of the three parties moves with a uniform acceleration with respect to other parties. As the Unruh effect indicates, tripartite entanglement exhibits a decreasing behavior with increasing acceleration. Unlike bipartite entanglement, however, tripartite entanglement does not completely vanish in the infinite acceleration limit. If the three parties, for example, share the Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger or $W$ state initially, the corresponding $\ensuremath{\pi}$-tangle, one of the measures of tripartite entanglement, is shown to be $\ensuremath{\pi}/6~0.524$ or $0.176$ in this limit, respectively. This fact indicates that tripartite quantum-information processing may be possible even if one of the parties approaches the Rindler horizon. The physical implications of this striking result are discussed in the context of black-hole physics.

Effects of uniform acceleration on quantum states and vacuum entanglement in relativistic quantum information

Krzysztof Lorek

In this thesis we focus on the influence of uniform acceleration on quantum states and their properties, as well as on quantum entanglement contained in the vacuum. First, we analyze a quantum clock measuring time in terms of the decay of an unstable particle. We compare the rate of ticking of a stationary clock to the one of a uniformly accelerating clock. We discover that there exists a deviation from what the discrepancy between those rates is predicted to be by special relativity. In a further part of this thesis we focus on the family of two-mode Gaussian states of two localized modes of a given quantum field. A general framework is developed for investigating the properties of such states, when observed by two uniformly accelerated observers, having access to another pair of localized modes. In particular, we focus on the vacuum state and examine the amount of quantum entanglement perceived by the observers. The framework is developed for three cases: the quantum scalar field in 1+1 and 3+1 dimensions and the Dirac spinor field in 1+1 dimensions. We find that in general more entanglement is seen when the accelerations of the observers increase and when the size of the modes of the observers and their central frequencies decrease. Furthermore, we extend our attention also to tripartite entanglement and investigate its extraction from the quantum vacuum by three particle detectors in a cavity, interacting with a quantum field for a finite time. Detailed maps of amounts of tripartite and bipartite entanglement extracted by the detectors, are produced and compared between two types of boundary conditions. It is found vacuum entanglement is most easily extracted in the case of periodic boundary conditions and it is easier to extract tripartite than bipartite entanglement.

Effect of relativistic acceleration on localized two-mode Gaussian quantum states

Mehdi Ahmadi, Krzysztof Lorek, Agata Chęcińska +3 more

We study how an arbitrary Gaussian state of two localized wave packets, prepared in an inertial frame of reference, is described by a pair of uniformly accelerated observers. We explicitly compute the resulting state for arbitrarily chosen proper accelerations of the observers and independently tuned distance between them. To do so, we introduce a generalized Rindler frame of reference and analytically derive the corresponding state transformation as a Gaussian channel. Our approach provides several new insights into the phenomenon of vacuum entanglement such as the highly nontrivial effect of spatial separation between the observers including sudden death of entanglement. We also calculate the fidelity of the two-mode channel for nonvacuum Gaussian states and obtain bounds on classical and quantum capacities of a single-mode channel. Our framework can be directly applied to any continuous variable quantum information protocol in which the effects of acceleration or gravity cannot be neglected.

Multipartite entanglement of fermionic systems in noninertial frames

Jieci Wang, Jiliang Jing

The bipartite and tripartite entanglement of a 3-qubit fermionic system when one or two subsystems accelerate are investigated. It is shown that all the one-tangles decrease as the acceleration increases. However, unlike the scalar case, here one-tangles ${\mathcal{N}}_{{C}_{I}({\mathrm{AB}}_{I})}$ and ${\mathcal{N}}_{{C}_{I}(\mathrm{AB})}$ never reduce to zero for any acceleration. It is found that the system has only tripartite entanglement when either one or two subsystems accelerate, which means that the acceleration does not generate bipartite entanglement and does not affect the entanglement structure of the quantum states in this system. It is of interest to note that the $\ensuremath{\pi}$-tangle of the two-observer-accelerated case decreases much quicker than that of the one-observer-accelerated case and it reduces to a nonzero minimum in the infinite-acceleration limit. Thus we argue that the qutrit systems are better than qubit systems in performing quantum information processing tasks in noninertial systems.

Tripartite entanglement of bosonic systems in a noninertial frame beyond the single- mode approximation

M Soltani, Atiyeh Javaheri, M Hadi

In this work, we generalize the entanglement of three-qbit Bosonic systems beyond the single-mode approximation when one of the observers is accelerated. For this purpose, we review the effects of acceleration on field modes and quantum states. The single-mode approximation and beyond the single-mode approximation methods are introduced. After this brief introduction, the main problem of this paper, tripartite entanglement of bosonic systems in a noninertial frame beyond the single- mode approximation is investigated. The tripartite entangled states have different classes with GHZ and W states being most important. Here, we choose &pi-tangle as a measure of tripartite entanglement. If the three parties share GHZ state, the corresponding &pi-tangle will increase by increasing acceleration for some Unruh modes. This phenomenon, increasing entanglement, has never been observed in the single-mode approximation for bosonic case. Moreover, the &pi-tangle dose not exhibit a monotonic behavior with increasing acceleration. In the infinite acceleration limit, the &pi-tangle goes to different nonzero values for distinct Unruh modes. Unlike GHZ state, the entanglement of the W state shows only monotonically increasing and decreasing behaviors with increasing acceleration. Also, the entanglement for all possible choices of Unruh modes approaches only 0.176 in the high acceleration limit. Therefore, according to the quantum entanglement, there is no distinction between the single-mode approximation and beyond the single-mode approximation methods in this limit.
