Zusammenfassung: | The problem of interfacing quantum mechanics and gravity has long been an
unresolved issue in physics. Recent advances in precision measurement
technology suggest that detecting gravitational effects in massive quantum
systems, particularly gravity-induced entanglement (GIE) in the oscillator
system, could provide crucial empirical evidence for revealing the quantum
nature of the gravitational field. However, thermal decoherence imposes strict
constraints on system parameters. For entanglement to occur, the inequality $2
\gamma_m k_B T < \hbar G \Lambda \rho$ must be satisfied, linking mechanical
dissipation $\gamma_m$, effective temperature $T$, oscillator density $\rho$
and form factor $\Lambda$ determined by the geometry and spatial arrangement of
the oscillators. This inequality, based on the inherent property of the noise
model of GIE, is considered universally across experimental systems and cannot
be improved by quantum control. Given the challenges in further optimizing
$\gamma_m$, $\rho$, and $T$ near their limits, optimizing the form factor
$\Lambda$ may reduce demands on other parameters. In this work, we prove that
the form factor $\Lambda$ has a supremum of $2\pi$, revealing a fundamental
limit of the oscillator system. We propose design schemes that enable the form
factor to approach this supremum, which is nearly an order of magnitude higher
than typical spherical oscillators. This optimization may ease experimental
constraints, bringing GIE-based validation of quantum gravity closer to
realization. |
