Abstract

I present some general ideas about quantum entanglement in relativistic quantum field theory, especially entanglement in the physical vacuum. Here, entanglement is defined between different single particle states (or modes), parametrized either by energy-momentum together with internal degrees of freedom, or by spacetime coordinate together with the component index in the case of a vector or spinor field. In this approach, the notion of entanglement between different spacetime points can be established. Some entanglement properties are obtained as constraints from symmetries, e.g., under Lorentz transformation, space inversion, time reverse, and charge conjugation.
