Gaussian quantum steering for continuous variables sharing in an expanding universe

Abstract Realistic quantum systems are affected by the expanding universe in their preparation and quantum information processing. In this paper, we study the relationship between the Gaussian quantum steering distribution and the parameters of the expanding universe. The expansion process of the universe can be described as a channel acting on a two-mode squeezed Gaussian state, with the evolution of quantum steering from the asymptotic past to the asymptotic future resulting in new distributions parameterized by cosmic parameters. We find that Gaussian quantum steering is more sensitive to the volume change of the expanding universe than the expansion rate, and the Gaussian quantum steering generated by particles with suitable mass and small momentum is more affected by the expanding universe.
