Gravity-induced entanglement as a probe of spacetime curvature

Abstract

It is now widely believed that if the gravitational field is (perturbatively) quantum, it would entangle two massive objects (in spatial superpositions) which were otherwise unentangled to begin with. Recently, actual table-top experiments have been proposed to test this idea in what would be the first detection of perturbative quantum gravity. In this essay, we devise a thought experiment to prove that such gravity-induced entanglement depends on the spacetime curvature and can, in principle, act as an alternate signature of the expanding background. This will open up new and complementary directions to search for such entanglement in curved spacetime and reveal fresh perspectives on it.
