Tree-level entanglement in Quantum Electrodynamics
read the original abstract
We report on a systematic study on the entanglement between helicity degrees of freedom generated at tree-level in quantum electrodynamics two-particle scattering processes. We determine the necessary and sufficient dynamical conditions for outgoing particles to be entangled with one another, and expose the hitherto unknown generation of maximal or nearly maximal entanglement through Bhabha and Compton scattering. Our work is an early step in revisiting quantum field theory and high-energy physics in the light of quantum information theory.

Qubit entanglement from forward scattering
In perturbative relativistic 2→2 scattering the concurrence of the traced-out qubit density matrix depends at leading order on the real part of the inelastic forward amplitude.

Regularized Compton double scattering via unitarity
The paper derives regularized density matrix expressions and polarization correlations for double Compton scattering of entangled photons by enforcing unitarity at tree level, proposing a novel cross-section definitio...
