Nonlocal correlation in quantum network under relativistic motion

We investigate the relativistic dynamics of network nonlocality in general $n$-local networks with chain and star topologies using the Unruh-DeWitt detector model. We show that the relativistic degradation of network nonlocality is strongly governed by the underlying topology. While chain networks suffer an irreversible sudden death of non-$n$-locality under relativistic motion, star networks exhibit remarkable resilience against relativistic decoherence. Most strikingly, a minimal star network with three peripheral nodes exhibits a remarkable sudden death-sudden birth transition of network nonlocality as the acceleration increases. This reentrant behavior reveals a dual role of the Unruh effect: it can both suppress and protect network nonlocality, offering a new perspective on the relativistic effects of acceleration on quantum networks. For larger star networks ($n>3$), non-$n$-local correlations persist over the entire acceleration regime. These insights provide valuable conceptual guidance for the structural optimization and design of acceleration-resilient architectures for future relativistic quantum communication and sensing protocols.
