Description
Pair creation phenomena due to external background fields are predicted in many contexts. In particular, gravitational scenarios such as expanding universes or black hole spacetimes predict the spontaneous generation of entangled quanta. In this talk we will outline the main mechanisms behind these phenomena, highlighting its quantum features, and showing how they extend in a straightforward manner to laboratory setups. We will then discuss recent predictions and experiments allow us to probe the quantum aspects of particle creation phenomena.
