Entanglement and expansion

Abstract We study the entanglement entropy resulting from tracing out local degrees of freedom of a quantum scalar field in an expanding universe. It is known that when field modes become superhorizon during inflation they evolve to increasingly squeezed states. We argue that this causes the entangl...
