Geometric Discord in Non-Inertial Frames

PIRSA:12060058

I review the recent work performed on computing the geometric discord in non-inertial frames. We consider the well-known case of an inertially maximally entangled state shared by inertial Alice and non-inertial Robb. It is found that for high accelerations the geometric discord decays to a negligible amount; this is in stark contrast to the entropic definition of quantum discord which asymptotes to a finite value in the same limit. Such a result has two different implications: the first being that usable quantum correlations are more limited in this regime than previously thought and the second being that geometric discord may not be a sufficient measure of quantum correlations. I will discuss both of these perspectives.
Quantum Teleportation from Alice to Rob in Vacuum

Shih-Yuin Lin National Changhua University of Education

PIRSA:12060047

We consider quantum teleportation of continuous variables in a relativistic system with the Unruh-DeWitt detectorscoupled to a common quantum field initially in the Minkowski vacuum. An unknown coherent state of an Unruh-DeWitt detector is teleported from one inertial agent (Alice) to an almost uniformly accelerated agent (Rob), using a detector pair initially entangled and shared by these two agents. Results for the averaged physical fidelity of quantum teleportation will be discussed.
Physical Results with Fermions in RQI

June 25, 2012

PIRSA:12060046

A number of works in the field of relativistic quantum information have been devoted to the study of entanglement on certain simple families of Unruh-mode entangled states in non-inertial frames. In the fermionic case remarkable results such as the survival of entanglement at infinite acceleration have been obtained. In this talk we will present and analyze some issues related to the anticommuting character of fermionic field operators, which have been overlooked in the past, sometimes leading to unphysical results. We provide a simple way of obtaining physical results, yielding interesting consequences such as convergence of field entanglement for different families of Unruh mode-entangled states in the infinite acceleration limit.
Entanglement of a Relativistic Field in the Vacuum State

High Energy Physics

We discuss gedanken experiments for measuring local and non-local observables in QFT that
respect causality, and can by used to test the entanglement between two spatially distant regions in the vacuum. It is shown that the entanglement decays exponentially with the distance between the regions and does not vanish, in contrast to the case of lattice models. We discuss in this respect a possible mechanism which might explain this persistence effect, and a connection between the Reeh-Schlieder theorem and superoscillations.
The Quest for Localization

Juan José León García Instituto de Física Fundamental (IFF - CSIC)

June 25, 2012

PIRSA:12060044

This talk aims to review the obstacles met in QFT to reach an appropriate definition for such a basic concept as localization. The anti-local character of the square root of the "- Laplace-Beltrami + mass^2" operator prevents the existence of localized states with a finite number of quanta. (Bosonic) quantum fields describe elementary excitations of an extended system whose ground state is the vacuum. No wonder, there is a complicated relationship between the cardinal (quantal) and continuous (spatial) sides of the theory. We will also analyze the roles (if any) played in RQI by the localized excitations of the vacuum.

Pyrochlore Material Yb_2Ti_2O_7: A Model Quantum Spin Ice

Condensed Matter

We discuss the thermodynamic properties of the model exchange quantum spin ice material Yb_2Ti_2O_7. Using exchange parameters recently determined from high-field neutron scattering measurements, we calculate the thermodynamic properties of this model system. We find very good agreement with the heat capacity, entropy and magnetization measurements on the materials. We show that, in the weak quantum regime, quantum fluctuations lead to the selection, within the spin-ice manifold, of a conventional ordered ground state. However, the excitations above the ground state and their dynamics remain highly non-trivial. They consist of weakly bound spinon-antispinon pairs separated by long strings. We present several pieces of indirect evidence that the low temperature phase transition observed in these materials is to this conventional ordered state.
Looking for Quantum Gravity in the Space of Conformal Field Theories

PIRSA:12060005

Conformal field theories have many applications ranging from continuous phase transitions in Statistical Mechanics to models of beyond the Standard Model physics in Particle Physics. In this talk, I will explain another remarkable application: some conformal field theories can be used to define and study Quantum Gravity. I will also try to give a brief summary of some of the main ideas being discussed at the conference "Back to the Bootstrap II".
