We show that the entanglement between excitations of two Bose-Einstein condensates is degraded after one of them undergoes a change in the gravitational field strength. This prediction can be tested if the condensates are initially entangled in two separate satellites while being in the same orbit and then one of them moves to a different orbit. We show that the effect is observable in a typical orbital manoeuvre of nanosatellites like CanX4 and CanX5.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v4", "updated": "2014-05-21T14:03:28.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "quantum entanglement", "space-based experiments", "gravitational field strength", "separate satellites", "bose-einstein condensates" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "journal": "New Journal of Physics", "year": 2014, "month": "May", "volume": 16, "number": 5, "pages": "053041" }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 6, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 1237905, "adsabs": "2014NJPh...16e3041B" } } }
