Motion generates entanglement    [PDF]

Nicolai Friis, David Edward Bruschi, Jorma Louko, Ivette Fuentes
We demonstrate entanglement generation between mode pairs of a quantum field
in a non-uniformly accelerated cavity in Minkowski space-time. The effect is
sensitive to the initial state, the choice of the mode pair and bosonic versus
fermionic statistics, and it can be stronger by orders of magnitude than the
entanglement degradation between a non-uniformly accelerated cavity and an
inertial cavity. Detailed results are obtained for massless scalar and spinor
fields in (1+1) dimensions. By the equivalence principle, the results provide a
model of entanglement generation by gravitational effects.
