Quantum entanglement of dark matter

Understand

We suggest that the dark matter in the universe has quantum entanglement if the dark matter is a Bose-Einstein condensation of ultra-light scalar particles.

• In this theory, any two regions of a galaxy are quantum entangled due to the quantum nature of the condensate.
• We calculate the entanglement entropy of a typical galactic halo, which turns out to be at least $O(ln(M/m))$, where $M$ is the mass of the halo and $m$ is the mass of a dark matter particle.
• The entanglement can be inferred from the rotation curves of the galaxy or the interference patterns of the dark matter density.
