Kelly Wurtz: Probing the entanglement structure of quantum fields - RQI Circuit Waterloo 2023

Title: Probing the entanglement structure of quantum fields
Abstract: I will present a framework to study the entanglement structure of a quantum field theory inspired by the formalism of particle detectors in RQI. This framework can in principle be used to faithfully capture entanglement in a QFT between arbitrary-shaped regions of spacetime without encountering UV divergences, bypassing many of the issues typically present in other approaches. The results also establish the limits of the efficiency of entanglement harvesting, and may also be used to motivate an operational definition of entanglement between spacetime subregions in field theory.
