abstract
It is well known that entanglement is widespread in quantum field theory, in the following sense: every Reeh-Schlieder state contains entanglement between any two spatially separated regions. This applies, in particular, to the vacuum of a non-interacting scalar theory in Minkowski spacetime. Discussions on entanglement in field theory have focused mainly on subsystems containing infinitely many degrees of freedom -- typically, the field modes that are supported within a compact region of space. In this article, we study entanglement in subsystems made of finitely many field degrees of freedom, in a free scalar theory in $D+1$-dimensional Minkowski spacetime. The focus on finitely many modes of the field is motivated by the finite capabilities of real experiments. We find that entanglement between finite-dimensional subsystems is {\em not common at all}, and that one needs to carefully select the support of modes for entanglement to show up. We also find that entanglement is increasingly sparser in higher dimensions. We conclude that entanglement in Minkowski spacetime is significantly less ubiquitous than normally thought.

When inflationary perturbations refuse to classicalise: the role of non-Gaussianity in Wigner negativity
In ultra-slow-roll inflation, the Wigner function of the inflationary Goldstone field becomes negative and its negativity grows with the scale factor squared, so the perturbations do not automatically become classical.

Correlation and Entanglement partners in Gaussian systems
For Gaussian states, every correlated single mode has a unique partner (pure states) or separate correlation/entanglement partners (mixed states), constructed from the state's complex structure.

Bell states for fermions in loop quantum gravity
In loop quantum gravity, a surface-normal fermion spin observable can be used to construct CHSH-type correlations that are violated by fermion states coupled to quantum geometry.

On Gauge-Invariant Entire-Function Regulators and UV Finiteness in NonLocal Quantum Field Theory
Gauge-invariant entire-function regulators of the covariant Laplace-Beltrami operator yield UV-finite nonlocal QFTs with exponential damping and no additional singularities.

On Gauge-Invariant Entire-Function Regulators and UV Finiteness in NonLocal Quantum Field Theory
In flat space, an entire-function regulator F(□/M^2) acts as the multiplicative Euclidean form factor e^{-p_E^2/M^2} on plane waves, yielding exponential UV damping; this known nonlocal-QFT result is re-derived and discussed.
