Causal-diamond thermalization induces nonseparability in N-partite quantum systems

We investigate the nonseparability of multipartite bosonic and fermionic $GHZ$ and $W$ states in a causal diamond spacetime using the Abe-Rajagopal (AR) $q$-conditional entropy. The finite lifetime of the observer gives rise to a causal diamond horizon, which induces an Unruh-like thermal effect and leads to a nontrivial restructuring of nonseparability in $N$-partite systems. Our main result is that the thermal effect can enhance a net nonseparability of fermionic $W$ states, in sharp contrast to the general expectation that relativistic thermalization leads to a monotonic degradation of bosonic nonseparability. In addition, we find that fermionic nonseparability is generally more robust than its bosonic counterpart under causal diamond restrictions. Among different entangled resources, $GHZ$ states exhibit stronger nonseparability and greater robustness than $W$ states under identical causal conditions. We further show that the nonseparability of $W$ states decreases with increasing particle number $N$, whereas that of $GHZ$ states remains independent of $N$ in causal diamond spacetime. These results demonstrate that particle statistics, entanglement structure, and observer lifetime jointly determine the persistence of nonseparability in causally restricted spacetimes, providing insights for relativistic quantum information processing.

Topology-dependent relativistic degradation of multipartite entanglement

The influence of relativistic motion on quantum entanglement is commonly attributed to acceleration-induced thermal noise. Here we show that, for asymmetric multipartite states, the topology of entanglement can become equally important. Considering a three-qubit Star state in the Unruh-DeWitt detector framework, we compare two inequivalent acceleration configurations in which either the central or a peripheral qubit undergoes uniform acceleration. We demonstrate that these physically equivalent accelerations lead to qualitatively different entanglement dynamics: acceleration of a peripheral qubit induces a revival of one-tangle that is absent when the central qubit accelerates, whereas genuine tripartite entanglement decays monotonically but with markedly different robustness. Our results uncover a topology-dependent mechanism for relativistic entanglement degradation, showing that the response of multipartite quantum correlations is determined jointly by Unruh thermalization and the structural role of the accelerated subsystem. This work identifies asymmetric quantum networks as a distinct platform for controlling relativistic quantum resources.

Bosonic and fermionic mutual information of N-partite systems in dilaton black hole background

We investigate multipartite total amount of correlations by analyzing the mutual information of N-partite states for both free bosonic and fermionic fields in the background of a Garfinkle-Horowitz-Strominger (GHS) dilaton black hole. Focusing on multipartite GHZ and W states, we examine how the Hawking effect influences the N-partite mutual information when one observer hovers near the event horizon while the remaining observers stay in the asymptotically flat region. By tracing over the inaccessible modes inside the event horizon, we derive analytical expressions for the N-partite mutual information in dilaton spacetime for both bosonic and fermionic fields. Our results show that fermionic mutual information is larger than its bosonic counterpart under the influence of the dilaton black hole, whereas the fermionic relative entropy of coherence (REC) is smaller than the bosonic REC. Moreover, the mutual information of GHZ states is consistently larger than that of W states, while the REC of GHZ states is smaller than that of W states in curved spacetime. These findings reveal distinct behaviors of multipartite mutual information and quantum coherence for different particle statistics and multipartite state structures under gravitational effects, providing further insight into many-body total correlations in curved spacetime.

Complete freezing of initially maximal entanglement in Schwarzschild black hole

Gravitational effects associated with black holes are widely believed to universally degrade quantum entanglement, with the loss of maximal entanglement being particularly severe and even irreversible for bosonic fields. In this work, we investigate the entanglement properties of the four-qubit cluster state ($CL_4$) for fermionic fields in the curved spacetime of a Schwarzschild black hole. Remarkably, we uncover a counterintuitive phenomenon: as the Hawking temperature increases, quantum entanglement ($1$-$3$ tangle) of the $CL_4$ state remains strictly constant, indicating a ``complete freezing of initially maximal entanglement". This constitutes the first explicit example in which maximal entanglement remains perfectly preserved in a black hole environment, defying the conventional expectation that gravitational effects can only suppress maximal quantum correlations. Moreover, our results indicate that, within a relativistic framework, the $CL_4$ state constitutes a high-quality quantum resource with potential applications in relativistic quantum information processing, and may significantly improve the performance of such protocols.

Does relativistic motion really freeze initially maximal entanglement?

We investigate the relativistic dynamics of quantum entanglement in a four-qubit cluster ($CL_4$) state using a fully operational Unruh-DeWitt detector framework. Contrary to the widely held expectation that the Unruh effect inevitably degrades initially maximal entanglement, we demonstrate that the $1-3$ bipartite entanglement of the $CL_4$ state remains strictly maximal for all accelerations, including the infinite-acceleration limit. This result uncovers a previously unexplored phenomenon, namely the ``complete freezing of initially maximal entanglement" under relativistic motion. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first identification and systematic characterization of such a phenomenon within a relativistic framework. These findings overturn the conventional view that acceleration universally diminishes maximal entanglement and establish the $CL_4$ state as a promising resource for quantum information processing in non-inertial or curved-spacetime settings.

Can Hawking effect of multipartite state protect quantum resources in Schwarzschild black hole?

Most previous studies on relativistic quantum information have primarily focused on the vacuum state $|0\rangle$ and the first excited state $|1\rangle$ in two-mode entangled systems. In this work, we go beyond these limitations by considering arbitrary $q$-th excited states $|q\rangle$, aiming to investigate their role in preserving quantum resources. We analyze the influence of the Hawking effect on multipartite quantum states in the Schwarzschild spacetime, with particular attention to quantum entanglement and coherence. Our results show that, under the influence of the Hawking effect, increasing the excitation number $q$ leads to a reduction in quantum entanglement and mutual information, while enhancing quantum coherence. This indicates that the Hawking effect on excited multipartite states tends to degrade quantum correlations but simultaneously protects quantum coherence in curved spacetime. Therefore, when implementing quantum information protocols in gravitational settings, reducing the excitation number $q$ is favorable for maintaining entanglement, whereas increasing $q$ may be advantageous for tasks that rely on quantum coherence in relativistic quantum information processing.
