We investigate the quantum speed limit (QSL) during the time evolution of neutrino-antineutrino system under the influence of the gravitational field of a spinning primordial black hole (PBH). We derive an analytical expression for the four-vector gravitational potential in the underlying Hermitian Dirac Hamiltonian using the Boyer-Lindquist (BL) coordinates. This gravitational potential leads to an axial vector term in the Dirac equation in curved spacetime, contributing to the effective mass matrix of the neutrino-antineutrino systems. Our findings indicate that the gravitational field, expressed in BL coordinates, significantly influences the transition probabilities in two-flavor oscillations of the neutrino-antineutrino system. We then apply the expression for transition probabilities between states to analyze the Bures angle, which quantifies the closeness between the initial and final states of the time-evolved flavor state. We use this concept to probe the QSL for the time evolution of the initial flavor neutrino state., Comment: 16 pages, 12 figures, Accepted for publication in the Proceedings of the 17th Marcel Grossman Meeting (MG17), Pescara, Italy, 7-12 July 2024.

The quantum speed limits (QSLs) determine the minimal amount of time required for a quantum system to evolve from an initial to a final state. We investigate QSLs for the unitary evolution of the neutrino-antineutrino system in the presence of a gravitational field. It is known that the transition probabilities between neutrino and antineutrino in the framework of one and two flavors depend on the strength of the gravitational field. The behavior of the QSL time in the two-flavor system indicates fast flavor transitions as the gravitational field strength increases. Subsequently, we observe quick suppression of entanglement by exploring the speed limit for entanglement entropy of two-flavor oscillations in the neutrino-antineutrino system in the proximity of a spinning primordial black hole., Comment: 12 pages, 5 figures, To be published in Astrophysics and Space Science Proceedings, titled "The Relativistic Universe: From Classical to Quantum, Proceedings of the International Symposium on Recent Developments in Relativistic Astrophysics", Gangtok, December 11-13, 2023: to felicitate Prof. Banibrata Mukhopadhyay on his 50th Birth Anniversary", Editors: S Ghosh & A R Rao, Springer Nature

The quantum speed limits (QSLs) set fundamental lower bounds on the time required for a quantum system to evolve from a given initial state to a final state. In this work, we investigate CP violation and the mass hierarchy problem of neutrino oscillations in matter using the QSL time as a key analytical tool. We examine the QSL time for the unitary evolution of two- and three-flavor neutrino states, both in vacuum and in the presence of matter. Two-flavor neutrino oscillations are used as a precursor to their three-flavor counterparts. We further compute the QSL time for neutrino state evolution and entanglement in terms of neutrino survival and oscillation probabilities, which are experimentally measurable quantities in neutrino experiments. A difference in the QSL time between the normal and inverted mass hierarchy scenarios, for neutrino state evolution as well as for entanglement, under the effect of a CP violation phase is observed. Our results are illustrated using energy-varying sets of accelerator neutrino sources from experiments such as T2K, NOvA, and DUNE. Notably, three-flavor neutrino oscillations in constant matter density exhibit faster state evolution across all these neutrino experiments in the normal mass hierarchy scenario. Additionally, we observe fast entanglement growth in DUNE assuming a normal mass hierarchy., Comment: v1: 18 pages, 10 figures. Comments welcome

We map neutrinos to qubit and qutrit states of quantum information theory by constructing the Poincar\'e sphere using SU(2) Pauli matrices and SU(3) Gell-Mann matrices, respectively. The construction of the Poincar\'e sphere in the two-qubit system enables us to construct the Bloch matrix, which yields valuable symmetries in the Bloch vector space of two neutrino systems. By identifying neutrinos with qutrits, we calculate the measures of qutrit entanglement for neutrinos. We use SU(3) Gell-Mann matrices tensor products to construct the Poincar\'e sphere of two qutrits neutrino systems. The comparison between the entanglement measures of bipartite qubits and bipartite qutrits in the two neutrino system are shown. The result warrants a study of two qutrits entanglement in the three neutrino system., Comment: This version of the paper was submitted to the journal. 33 pages and 3 figures

Two and three flavor oscillating neutrinos are shown to exhibit the properties bipartite and tripartite quantum entanglement. The two and three flavor neutrinos are mapped to qubit states used in quantum information theory. Such quantum bits of the neutrino state can be encoded on a IBMQ computer using quantum computing as a tool. We show the implementation of entanglement in the two neutrino system on the IBM quantum processor., Comment: 8 pages, 6 figures, Prepared for the proceedings of The 5th International Conference on Particle Physics and Astrophysics (ICPPA-2020), Moscow, Russia, 5th-9th October,2020.

We investigate and quantify various measures of bipartite and tripartite entanglement in the context of two and three flavor neutrino oscillations. The bipartite entanglement is analogous to the entanglement swapping resulting from a beam splitter in quantum optics. For the three neutrino systems various measures of tripartite entanglement are explored. The significant result is that a monogamy inequality in terms of negativity leads to a residual entanglement, implying true tripartite entanglement in the three neutrino system. This leads us to an analogy of the three neutrino state with a generalized class of W-state in quantum optics., Comment: 10 pages, 7 figures . This version submitted to journal.
