Probing Planckian physics in de Sitter space with quantum correlations    [PDF]

Jun Feng, Cheng-Yi Sun, Wen-Li Yang, Yao-Zhong Zhang, Heng Fan
We study the quantum correlations of both free scalar and fermionic field in de Sitter space, while the Planckian modification presented by choice of a particular {\alpha}-vacuum has been considered. We show the occurrence of degradation of quantum entanglement and quantum discord between field modes for inertial observer in curved space, due to the radiation associated with cosmological horizon. In particular, comparing with standard Bunch-Davies choice, the possible Planckian physics causes some extra decrement on the quantum correlation, which may provides the means to detect quantum gravitational effects via quantum information methodology in future.
