David Edward Bruschi (Vienna): On the weight of entanglement: the role of quantum correlations in physics at the overlap of relativity and quantum science

In recent years, quantum correlations have gained a prominent role in many areas of physics, from
quantum information science to tests of alternative theories of gravity. Quantum correlations are the
core ingredient of many tasks in the most diverse areas of science, such as quantum refrigeration,
quantum communication or the Hawking effect.
A thorough investigation of the nature of these correlations and their role is paramount to advance our
knowledge of nature.
We present a body of work that aims at understanding the role of quantum correlations in phenomena
that exhibit genuine relativistic and quantum features.
This body of work covers different aspects of relativistic quantum physics, from quantum communication
in curved spacetimes, to ultra‐precise measurements of the gravitational field and the contributions of
quantum correlations in the theory of gravitation.
We discuss possible applications and potential attempts for experimental demonstrations.
