Reveal the lost entanglement for two atoms in higher dimensional spacetime

ORAL

Abstract

When atoms are accelerated in the vacuum, entanglement among atoms will degrade compared with the initial situation before the acceleration. We propose a novel and interesting view that the lost entanglement can be recovered completely when the high-dimensional spacetime is exploited, in the case that the acceleration is not too large, since the entanglement loss rate caused by the large acceleration is faster than the recovery process. We also calculate the entanglement change caused by the anti-Unruh effect and found that the lost entanglement could just be recovered part by the anti-Unruh effect, and the anti-Unruh effect could only appear for a finite range of acceleration when the interaction time scale is approximately shorter than the reciprocal of the energy gap in two dimensional spacetime. The limit case of zero acceleration is also investigated, which gives an analytical interpretation for the increase or recovery of entanglement.
