Negativity volume of the generalized Wigner function in gravitating hybrid system (2311.10980v1)

Abstract: We evaluate the gravity-induced negativity volume of the generalized Wigner function in a hybrid system consisting of a particle in a two-localized superposition state and an oscillator. The generalized Wigner function can capture the nonclassicality of the system. The increase in the negativity volume of the generalized Wigner function can be an indicator of the entanglement generation, which is demonstrated in the hybrid system generating the gravity-induced entanglement in various initial states. Moreover, by comparing the behaviors of the negativity volume with the entanglement fidelity, we show that the nonclassical feature of entanglement is properly identified by the criterion based on the negativity volume of the generalized Wigner function when the oscillator is initially in a thermal state.
