Gravitationally induced entanglement as tidal deformation

Martin Bojowald (Penn State U)

Nov 12. 2026, 14:00 — 14:30

This talk presents a new combination of general relativity and quantum physics in which a state, parameterized by its covariance matrix, plays the role of an extended object subject to tidal forces in curved space-time. Specific examples show how entropy and purity contribute to an object's weight, and how entanglement may be produced by gravitational effects.
