The negativity core of a 1+1D massless scalar quantum field

Abstract

Vacuum entanglement is a fundamental feature of quantum field theory exhibiting rich structure that is not completely understood. Here, we provide a complete characterization of the entanglement between two bounded spacelike-separated regions in a (1+1)-dimensional free massless real scalar field. Employing Gaussian state methods, we analytically compute the logarithmic negativity and construct closed-form solutions for the localized modes carrying it, called negativity cores. These results deepen our understanding of quantum fields and suggest extensions to higher dimensions and fermionic fields.
