Constraints on probing quantum coherence to infer gravitational entanglement

O Hosten - Physical Review Research, 2022 - APS
Finding a feasible scheme for testing the quantum mechanical nature of the gravitational
interaction has been attracting an increasing level of attention. Gravity mediated …

When can gravity path-entangle two spatially superposed masses?

C Marletto, V Vedral - Physical Review D, 2018 - APS
An experimental test of quantum effects in gravity has recently been proposed, where the
gravitational field's ability to entangle two masses is used as a witness of its quantum nature …

Satellite testing of a gravitationally induced quantum decoherence model

P Xu, Y Ma, JG Ren, HL Yong, TC Ralph, SK Liao… - Science, 2019 - science.org
Quantum mechanics and the general theory of relativity are two pillars of modern physics.
However, a coherent unified framework of the two theories remains an open problem …

Testing the quantumness of gravity without entanglement

L Lami, JS Pedernales, MB Plenio - Physical Review X, 2024 - APS
Given a unitary evolution U on a multipartite quantum system and an ensemble of initial
states, how well can U be simulated by local operations and classical communication …

Gravitationally induced entanglement between two massive particles is sufficient evidence of quantum effects in gravity

C Marletto, V Vedral - Physical review letters, 2017 - APS
All existing quantum-gravity proposals are extremely hard to test in practice. Quantum effects
in the gravitational field are exceptionally small, unlike those in the electromagnetic field …

Gravitationally mediated entanglement: Newtonian field versus gravitons

DL Danielson, G Satishchandran, RM Wald - Physical Review D, 2022 - APS
We argue that if the Newtonian gravitational field of a body can mediate entanglement with
another body, then it should also be possible for the body producing the Newtonian field to …

Harvesting entanglement from the gravitational vacuum

TR Perche, B Ragula, E Martín-Martínez - Physical Review D, 2023 - APS
We study how quantum systems can harvest entanglement from the quantum degrees of
freedom of the gravitational field. Concretely, we describe in detail the interaction of …
