Alice falls into a black hole: entanglement in noninertial frames.

TLDR
It is shown that a state which is maximally entangled in an inertial frame becomes less entangled if the observers are relatively accelerated, which shows that entanglement is an observer-dependent quantity in noninertial frames.
Abstract
Two observers determine the entanglement between two free bosonic modes by each detecting one of the modes and observing the correlations between their measurements. We show that a state which is maximally entangled in an inertial frame becomes less entangled if the observers are relatively accelerated. This phenomenon, which is a consequence of the Unruh effect, shows that entanglement is an observer-dependent quantity in noninertial frames. In the high acceleration limit, our results can be applied to a nonaccelerated observer falling into a black hole while the accelerated one barely escapes. If the observer escapes with infinite acceleration, the state's distillable entanglement vanishes.

The Unruh effect and its applications

TL;DR: The Unruh effect has played a crucial role in our understanding that the particle content of a field theory is observer dependent as mentioned in this paper, which is important in its own right and as a way to understand the phenomenon of particle emission from black holes and cosmological horizons.

Entanglement of Dirac fields in noninertial frames

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed the entanglement between two modes of a free Dirac field as seen by two relatively accelerated parties and showed that the state always remains entangled to a degree and can be used in quantum information tasks, such as teleportation.

Notes on black-hole evaporation

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined various aspects of black-hole evaporation and proposed a technique for replacing the collapse by boundary conditions on the past horizon, which retains the essential features of the collapse while eliminating some of the difficulties.

Computable measure of entanglement

TL;DR: A measure of entanglement that can be computed effectively for any mixed state of an arbitrary bipartite system is presented and it is shown that it does not increase under local manipulations of the system.
