Noncovariance (1) spin momentum classical info Example: Lorentz transform of a single massive particle transform: v along the z - axis important parameter:
Partial trace is not Lorentz covariant Spin entropy is not scalar Distinguishability depends on motion Entropy Peres and Terno, Rev. Mod. Phys. 76, 93 (2004)

Volume 2: old applications
Entanglement on the horizon Requirement: SU(2) invariance of the horizon states Object: static black hole States: spin network that crosses the horizon Qubit BH
density matrix Standard counting story area constraint 2n spins number of states entropy Fancy counting story entropy
Entanglement Measure: entanglement of formation 2 vs 2n-2 States of the minimal decomposition degeneracy indices Alternative decomposition: linear combinations Its reduced density matrices: mixtures Entropy: concavity
unentangled fraction entanglement n vs n Entropy of the whole vs. sum of its parts reduced density matrices BH is not made from independent qubits, but… Livine and Terno, gr-qc/0412xxx
Entanglement and Hawking radiation Hussein,Terno and Winkler, in preparation
Summary when met n Reduced density matrices are not covariant n Entropy (and the # of degrees of freedom) are observer-dependent n Entanglement is responsible for the logarithmic corrections of BH entropy n Entropy of the BH radiation = entanglement entropy between gravity and matter

Technique Technique: Unruh effect Entropy usually diverges General: cut-off renormalization of entropy
Unruh+ Unruh + Audretsch and Müller, Phys. Rev. D 49, 4056 (1994) Matter outside the horizon n particles in the mode (k,m) Splitting: usual + super
Special case renormalized quantities temperature Of what? two subsystems General case: temperature is undefined Two observers: the same acceleration, different velocities
