Boiling Quantum Vacuum: Thermal Subsystems from Ground-State Entanglement

In certain special circumstances, such as in the vicinity of a black hole or in a uniformly accelerating frame, vacuum fluctuations appear to give rise to a finite-temperature environment. This effect, currently without experimental confirmation, can be interpreted as a manifestation of quantum enta...
