Abstract

We discuss gedanken experiments for measuring local and non-local observables in QFT that
respect causality, and can by used to test the entanglement between two spatially distant regions in the vacuum. It is shown that the entanglement decays exponentially with the distance between the regions and does not vanish, in contrast to the case of lattice models. We discuss in this respect a possible mechanism which might explain this persistence effect, and a connection between the Reeh-Schlieder theorem and superoscillations.
