| Popis: | We investigate the phenomenon of entanglement harvesting for a spacetime in quantum superposition, using two Unruh-DeWitt detectors interacting with a quantum scalar field where the spacetime background is modeled as a superposition of two quotient Minkowski spaces which are not related by diffeomorphisms. Our results demonstrate that the superposed nature of spacetime induces interference effects that can significantly enhance entanglement for both twisted and untwisted field. We compute the concurrence, which quantifies the harvested entanglement, as function of the energy gap of detectors and their separation. We find that it reaches its maximum when we condition the final spacetime superposition state to match the initial spacetime state. Notably, for the twisted field, the parameter region without entanglement exhibits a significant deviation from that observed in classical Minkowski space or a single quotient Minkowski space.
