Newton, entanglement, and the graviton
read the original abstract
Many experiments have recently been proposed to test whether non-relativistic gravitational interactions can generate entanglement. In this note, I consider the extent to which these experiments can test if the graviton exists. Assuming unitarity and Lorentz invariance of the $S$-matrix, I demonstrate that this "Newtonian entanglement" requires the existence of massless bosons, universally coupled to mass, in the Hilbert space of low-energy scattering states. These bosons could be the usual spin-2 gravitons, but in principle there are other possibilities like spin-0 scalar gravitons. I suggest a concept for a more refined experiment to rule these out. The special role of $d=3+1$ spacetime dimensions and the possibility that unitarity is violated by gravity are highlighted.

Minimal noise in non-quantized gravity
Non-quantized gravity models that preserve Galilean invariance and reproduce Newtonian interaction on average require a minimal noise injection to remain non-entangling.

Witnessing entanglement between photon and matter due to graviton exchange
A PPT witness criterion is proposed to detect graviton-mediated entanglement between photons and matter qubits, attaining a maximal negativity of -0.052 for non-maximally entangled states when the photon coherent-stat...

Emergence of Non-Markovian Classical-Quantum Dynamics from Decoherence
Decoherence with a hidden environment in fully quantum systems produces effective non-Markovian classical-quantum dynamics, valid when the semi-Wigner operator remains positive semidefinite, reducing to Markovian CQ m...
