Description

Relativistic Quantum Information (RQI) uses tools from quantum information theory to quantify physical phenomena at the interface between general relativity and quantum theory. An important result from RQI describes how a maximally entangled state shared by Alice and Rob is degraded when Rob undergoes uniform accelerated motion relative to Alice.
In this talk, I will revisit the problem of entanglement degradation by considering how other quantum resources are affected by acceleration. Specifically, I will answer the question of whether other quantum resources can "offset" the degradation observed in the entanglement using recent results about quantum reference frames.
