Quantum fluctuations of spacetime generate quantum entanglement between gravitationally polarizable subsystems

Abstract There should be quantum vacuum fluctuations of spacetime itself, if we accept that the basic quantum principles we are already familiar with apply as well to a quantum theory of gravity. In this paper, we study, in linearized quantum gravity, the quantum entanglement generation at the neigh...
