Abstract

In the field of Relativistic Quantum Information and in the last 8 years, huge differences between bosonic and fermionic entanglement in non-inertial frames and in curved spacetimes have been found. These striking differences extend from entanglement behaviour in accelerated frames to the expansion of the Universe and stellar collapse. Fermions behave in a most non-intuitive way. I will present some results regarding these differences, their posible origin and the way in which one can take advantage of them to extract information about the underlying spacetime. I will also comment on some experimental settings where Quantum Optics tools can be used to unveil the behaviour of general relativistic systems where all these theoretical results can be tested.
