Lessons and complications from gravitationally induced entanglement

چکیده
Abstract We critically review arguments depicting entanglement generated between exclusively gravitationally interacting particles as evidence for the necessity of a quantized gravitational field. For proposed experiments which are supposed to witness this induced entanglement, we discuss implications positive result and defend possibility semiclassical theory quantum matter on classical spacetime cannot be conclusively ruled out by witnessing entanglement. thought that resolve apparent causality issues with systems entangled via Newtonian interaction considering field, demonstrate quantization degrees freedom is not only unnecessary but may in remaining paradoxical behavior, unless previously disregarded decoherence channel taken into consideration.

Quantum connectivity of space-time and gravitationally induced decorrelation of entanglement
We discuss an alternative formulation of the problem of quantum optical fields in a curved space-time using localized operators. We contrast this formulation with the standard approach and find observable differences for entangled states. We propose an experiment in which an entangled pair of optical pulses are propagated through nonuniform gravitational fields and find that the alternative for...
متن کاملPhilosophical lessons of entanglement
The quantum-mechanical description of the world, including human observers, makes substantial use of entanglement. In order to understand this, we need to adopt concepts of truth, probability and time which are unfamiliar in modern scientific thought. There are two kinds of statements about the world: those made from inside the world, and those from outside. The conflict between contradictory s...
متن کاملGravitationally Induced Neutrino–Oscillation Phases
In this essay, we introduce a new effect of gravitationally induced quantum mechanical phases in neutrino oscillations. These phases arise from an hitherto unexplored interplay of gravitation and the principle of the linear superposition of quantum mechanics. In the neighborhood of a 1.4 solar–mass neutron star, gravitationally induced quantum mechanical phases are roughly 20% of their kinemati...
متن کاملClassical Underpinnings of Gravitationally Induced Quantum Interference
We show that the gravitational modification of the phase of a neutron beam (the COW experiment) has a classical origin, being due to the time delay which classical particles experience in traversing a background gravitational field. Similarly, we show that classical light waves also undergo a phase shift in traversing a gravitational field. We show that the COW experiment respects the equivalen...
متن کاملGravitationally Induced Neutrino - Oscillation Phases " Tanmoy Bhattacharya
We critically examine the recent claim of a \new eeect" of gravitationally induced quantum mechanical phases in neutrino oscillations. A straightforward exercise in the Schwarzschild coordinates appropriate to a spherically symmetric non-rotating star shows that, although there is a general relativis-tic eeect of the star's gravity on neutrino oscillations, it is not of the form claimed, and is...
