Gravity-induced entanglement between two massive microscopic particles in curved spacetime: II.Friedmann- Lemaître-Robertson-Walker universe
Abstract: In our previous work, we have explored quantum gravity induced entanglement of mass (QGEM) in curved spacetime, observing entanglement formation between particles moving along geodesics in a Schwarzschild spacetime background. We find that long interaction time induces entanglement, even for particles with microscopic mass, addressing decoherence concerns. In this work, we build upon our previous work by extending our investigation to a time-dependent spacetime. Specifically, we explore the entanglement induced by the mutual gravitation of massive particles in the Friedmann-Lema^itre-Robertson-Walker(FLRW) universe. Through calculations of the phase variation and the QGEM spectrum, our proposed scheme offers a potential method for observing the formation of entanglement caused by the quantum gravity of massive particles as they propagate in the FLRW universe. Consequently, our research provides fresh insights into the field of entanglement in cosmology.
