Description

Quantum entanglement harvesting (EH) in the relativistic setup has recently attracted much attention. The formulation studies the possibility of two uncorrelated Unruh-DeWitt detectors getting entangled over time due to the effects of quantum vacuum fluctuations, depending on the motion and the background spacetimes. We investigate the effects of field temperature $T^{(f)}$ on EH between two uniformly accelerated detectors. Field temperature suppresses EH for lower accelerations. However, after a critical acceleration, temperature has opposite effect. Multiple critical points are in the $(1+3)$ dimension, and a single critical point is in the $(1+1)$ dimension. We also consider the presence of multiple reflecting boundaries on EH. We observe that the reflecting boundaries can cause suppression or enhancement of entanglement, depending on different physical parameters.
