Entanglement through qubit motion and the dynamical Casimir effect

Year: 2019

Type: article

Abstract: We explore the interplay between acceleration radiation and the dynamical Casimir effect in the field of superconducting quantum technologies, analyzing the generation of entanglement between two qubits by means of the dynamical Casimir effect in several states of qubit motion. We show that the correlated absorption and emission of photons are crucial for entanglement, which in some cases can be linked to the notion of simultaneity in special relativity.
