| Jul 4 at 13:59 | comment | added | Husserliana | No idea. It's simply a thesis I've read in Zeh's paper : Entanglement exists in the static ground state of relativistic QFT , where it is often (erroneously, according to Zeh) regarded as vacuum fluctuations in terms of " virtual " particles. As far as I understand, then, it would be an entanglement between two (ground states of two) fields. | |
| Jul 4 at 13:44 | comment | added | FlatterMann | "Vacuum fluctuations" always seemed more like a poorly conceived mental model than a real physical effect to me. I certainly don't know how to measure them with an experimental method. I also don't know why they are supposed to be linked to entanglement. What is "the ground state of the physical vacuum is entangled" supposed to mean? Entangled with what? Itself? That's contrary to the usual statements about the locality of quantum fields, isn't it? Do you have an example from the literature? | |
