Abstract We analyze the entanglement generation of a system composed of two decoupled rotated graphene layers inside a planar microcavity. By considering the electromagnetic field of the cavity in the vacuum state and using time-dependent perturbation theory it is possible to obtain the range of geometric parameters at which the quantum states of electrons in different layers are entangled. By employing the negativity measure, correlations between layers are obtained for time scales smaller than the light-crossing time of the layers. It is shown that the negativity measure is modulated by the rotation angle between layers, allowing manipulation of X states. Finally, an experimental protocol is analyzed in order to detect non-causal effects between layers, by allowing back-voltage switching functions in the two layers with supports that do not overlap in time. By turning off the second-back voltage at a time smaller than the light-crossing time, it is possible to obtain correlations between layers through the independent interaction with virtual photons. The exchange of virtual photons implies that the propagator can be nonzero outside the light cone and this non-causal propagation can create entangled quantum states.

Exact solutions of Maxwell's equations representing light beams are explored. The solutions satisfy all of the physical requirements of causal propagation and of energy, momentum and angular momentum conservation. A set of solutions can be found from a proto-beam by an imaginary translation along the beam direction. The proto-beam is given analytically in terms of the Bessel functions J 0 , J 1 and the Lommel functions U 0 , U 1 , or equivalently in terms of products of the spherical Bessel functions and Legendre polynomials. The complex wavefunction has rings of zeros in the focal plane. Localization of the focal region is to within about one half of the vacuum wavelength.
