A suitable deformation of the Hopf algebra of the creation and annihilation
operators for a complex scalar field, initially quantized in Minkowski
space--time, induces the canonical quantization of the same field in a generic
gravitational background. The deformation parameter q turns out to be related
to the gravitational field. The entanglement of the quantum vacuum appears to
be robust against interaction with the environment.Comment: 4 pages, to appear in Proceedings of the XXIV International
