DESCRIPTION: Abstract:We show that virtual particles\, despite being unobs
ervable\, can be described by quantum operators which can be interpreted u
nder certain conditions as valid quantum states with interesting connectio
ns to quantum information. For virtual fermions\, we prove that such state
s can be regarded as 2-qubit thermal states and study their entanglement.
For spin-1 virtual bosons and virtual pairs of fermions\, we find them to
be associated to 4-qubit operators containing all the details of the inter
actions. Finally\, we study how renormalization affects these results. The
se findings represent new connections between quantum field theory\, quant
um information and quantum thermodynamics.
