This means that in the case when both Leo and Nadia escape the fall into a black<br />

hole, not only their entanglement is degraded but there is also a loss of classical<br />

information.<br />

14.4. Discussion and outlook<br />

In this Chapter, based on Ref. [GA20], we presented a thorough study of classical<br />

and quantum correlations between modes of a scalar field measured by observers in<br />

relative acceleration. By considering the state of the field in the inertial frame in the<br />

simplest multi-mode squeezed state possible (the two-mode case) we were able to<br />

investigate in detail the entanglement in all partitions of the system. We considered<br />

two observers carrying single mode detectors and discussed the correlations on their<br />

measurements when both observers are in uniform acceleration and when only one<br />

of them is non-inertial. We find that in both settings entanglement is degraded<br />

with acceleration and we explain this degradation as an effect of re-distribution of<br />

the entanglement measured in an inertial frame.<br />

Our main results can be summarized as follows. When one of the observers<br />

is non-inertial the entanglement lost between the modes measured by him and the<br />

inertial observer is re-distributed in tripartite correlations. No entanglement is generated<br />

between the modes measured by the inertial observer and the modes in the<br />

causally disconnected region II. This shows that indeed the behavior for bosonic<br />

fields is very different to the Dirac case where the entanglement lost in the noninertial<br />

frame is re-distributed not into tripartite correlations but into bipartite<br />

correlations between the mode measured by the inertial observer and the mode in<br />

region II. The analysis of the mutual information shows that in this case classical<br />

correlations are conserved independently of the acceleration. The situation changes<br />

drastically by considering that both observers are non-inertial. In this case the<br />

entanglement lost between two non-inertial observers is re-distributed into mainly<br />

four-partite correlations although some tripartite correlations exist for finite acceleration.<br />

The surprising result here (though expected in the framework of distributed<br />

entanglement, as the additional fourth mode comes into play) is that entanglement<br />

vanishes completely at a finite acceleration. This is also strikingly different to the
