How Nagoya University Links Entanglement to Mirror Acceleration

Researchers at the Nagoya University have discovered a surprising link between the acceleration of a moving mirror and the amount of quantum entanglement it generates. The work demonstrates that non-monotonic, time-dependent acceleration, or complex acceleration patterns, increases the amount of entanglement accessible to detectors. This simplified model is used to investigate Hawking radiation and black hole evaporation by quantifying entanglement between detector modes defined by window functions on a quantum field. The study further indicates that negative energy flux emitted by the moving mirror acts as a channel…
