We demonstrate the presence of multimode entanglement in the vacuum state of a free, massless scalar quantum field in four-dimensional flat spacetime between two sets of field modes, each contained within a spacetime region that is causally disconnected from the other. This is true despite the fact that entanglement between pairs of individual field modes is sparse and appears only when the two individual modes are carefully selected. Our results reveal that, while entanglement between individual modes is limited, bipartite multimode entanglement in quantum field theory is ubiquitous. We further argue that such multimode entanglement is operationally extractable, and it forms the basis of the entanglement commonly discussed in entanglement harvesting protocols.

  1. Bipartite entanglement harvesting with multiple detectors

    quant-ph 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    Multiple Unruh-DeWitt detectors harvest more vacuum entanglement when arranged in specific configurations, with harvested negativity scaling linearly in linear chains.

  2. Partner-mode overlap as a symplectic-invariant measure of correlations in Gaussian quantum field theories

    quant-ph 2025-12 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Two bosonic Gaussian modes are entangled if and only if the symmetrized overlap of each mode with the other's purification partner exceeds a threshold D_c set by the purities of the modes.

  3. Correlation and Entanglement partners in Gaussian systems

    quant-ph 2025-12 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    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.

  4. Bell states for fermions in loop quantum gravity

    gr-qc 2025-08 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    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.
