Quantum Correlations of Neutrinos in the Kerr-Newman Space-time

Quantum phases provide a connection between gravitation and quantum information, which proposes a novel avenue to explore the properties of space-time. In this paper, we investigate the quantum correlations (QCs) of neutrinos in the Kerr--Newman space-time for both zero- and nonzero-angular-momentum propagation. The results show that, for zero-angular-momentum propagation, the oscillation periods of the survival probability and QCs progressively decrease with propagation distance in the inward direction. In the outward direction, increasing $M$ lengthens the oscillation periods of $P_{\nu_e\rightarrow\nu_e}$, entanglement, and the monogamy of nonlocality, whereas increasing angular momentum $a$ or charge $Q$ shortens them. For nonzero-angular-momentum propagation, the metric parameters also generate local profile modulations through additional two-path interference terms, rather than merely rescaling the oscillation period. Furthermore, we find that, despite differences in their variation ranges, entanglement and coherence exhibit highly consistent oscillation behaviors in both propagation cases. These findings provide a comprehensive understanding for the neutrino-based relativistic quantum information.

CP violations in neutrino oscillations modulated by singular and non-singular gravities

Flavor oscillations in curved space-time provide a novel channel to explore the unknown parameters of neutrinos. In this work, the gravity-modulated CP violations (CPVs) in neutrino oscillations were investigated under the Reissner-Nordstrom, Hayward, and Simpson-Visser metric. The interplay among the CPV, the properties of neutrinos, and the space-time is illustrated with analytical and numerical methods. The morphologies of the flavor-oscillation curves show that the information on the mass-ordering, the absolute mass, and the gravitational parameters could be encoded into the amplitudes and periods of the CPVs. Hence, the characteristic of the space-time background may be identified through its modulation effects on the CPV, such as amplification, damping on the amplitudes.

Effects of gravitational lensing on neutrino oscillation in Hu-Sawicki f(R) gravity

Gravitational lensing serves as a powerful probe of compact astrophysical objects and dark matter distributions. As relativistic counterparts to photons, neutrinos experiencing lensing offer a complementary means to investigate the properties of curved spacetimes. This paper studies neutrino oscillations within the spacetime geometry described by the Hu-Sawicki f(R) gravity model, focusing on the modifications induced by gravitational lensing. We calculate the oscillation phases for both radial and non-radial neutrino propagation and derive the corresponding flavor transition probabilities for 2-flavor and 3-flavor scenarios under the weak-field approximation. Our analysis demonstrates that the lensing-affected oscillation probabilities exhibit a clear dependence on the Hu-Sawicki model parameter $\lambda$ , the neutrino mass hierarchy, and the absolute value of the lightest neutrino mass. Furthermore, extending the analysis beyond the weak-field regime reveals that strong-field gravitational lensing amplifies these effects. These results, while theoretical, indicate that future high-precision measurements of lensed neutrinos from compact astrophysical objects could, in principle, help test modified gravity models and constrain neutrino parameters, provided that experimental and wave-packet decoherence challenges are overcome.
