Abstract
We discuss entanglement harvesting in the context of spacetime superposition, using Unruh-DeWitt (UDW) detectors coupled to a quantum scalar field in a background modeled as a superposition of two quotient Minkowski spaces that are not diffeomorphic to each other, based on a recent investigation [1]. Our analysis shows that the superposed nature of the spacetime induces interference effects that significantly enhance entanglement generation for both twisted and untwisted fields. In particular, the concurrence, which quantifies the harvested entanglement, achieves its maximum when the detector measurement basis for the spacetime matches the initial superposed spacetime state. Notably, for twisted fields, the region of no entanglement deviates substantially from that observed in standard Minkowski space, highlighting the influence of global spacetime structure on quantum correlations.
