| Popis: | We demonstrate the existence of entanglement between the spatial degrees of freedom of a system of harmonic oscillators placed in the noncommutative Moyal plane ("exotic oscillators") by computing the entanglement entropy as measured by the von Neumann entropy of the reduced density matrix. It is explicitly verified that the entanglement arises from the noncommutativity, which controls the coupling strength between the spatial modes. This can easily be generalised to the case where the momentum components also satisfy noncommutative relations, so that the entire phase space becomes noncommutative. In the former case, i.e. when only the spatial noncommutativity is present, the underlying mathematical structure is reminiscent of the Unruh effect, as observed by a Rindler observer whose acceleration now gets related to the noncommutative parameter. It is shown that the Landau problem in the presence of a harmonic interaction gives a concrete physical realisation of this effect. Finally, we show that phase-space noncommutativity can give rise to a the non-classical effect of squeezing, which results from the non-linearity of a medium in a three-wave mixing process.
