摘要
We discuss the scattering of two light particles in a D-brane background. It is known that, if one light particle strikes the D-brane at small impact parameter, quantum recoil effects induce entanglement entropy in both the excited D-brane and the scattered particle. In this letter we compute the asymptotic "out" state of a second light particle scattering off the D-brane at large impact parameter, showing that it also becomes mixed as a consequence of quantum D-brane recoil effects. We interpret this as a non-factorizing contribution to the superscattering operator $ for the two light particles in a Liouville D-brane background, that appears when quantum D-brane excitations are taken into account.
