Popis: Inspired by string theory ideas, we probe quantum entanglement from the gravitational potential energy. Concretely, we reconsider the study of quantum corrections to the Newtonian potential energy by treating a massive two-particle system $m_{1}$ and $m_{2}$ with size dimensions $r_{1}$ ad $% r_{2}$ where the two particles separated by a distance $d$ are under only their mutual classical gravitational interaction $V_{r}\left( r_{1}\text{, }% r_{2}\right) $. Exploring such a size-dependent gravitational behavior and taking the limit $r_{1}$, $r_{2}\ll d$, we investigate the associated quantum biparticle state and express its evolution after an interaction time $\tau $. Among others, we show that the two masses cannot be separable due to the induced gravitational entanglement in terms of the accumulated quantum phase $\delta \phi =\delta V_{g}\tau /\hbar $. By analogy with the classical gravity, we derive the expression of the resulting extremely weak entanglement force from the corresponding gravitational entanglement energy. Then, we provide certain entanglement diagnostics.
