Mutual information harvested by uniformly accelerated particle detectors

Abstract

We investigate the mutual information harvesting protocol for two uniformly accelerated particle detectors. We numerically show that, while a single detector responds as if it is immersed in a thermal bath, the quantum mutual information between two accelerating detectors behaves differently than that of two inertial detectors in a thermal bath. This is due to the fact that while the Wightman function along the trajectory of a single uniformly accelerating detector is the same as that of as a detector in a thermal bath, a pair of detectors in the same respective cases will have different Wightman functions.Comment: 9 pages, 4 figure
