17. In this respect we notice that the degradation of correlations in a different type of two-mode entangled Kruskal state, i.e. a two-qubit-like Bell state |00〉 + |11〉, as detected by Schwarzschild observers, have been recently studied [14]. However, in that case it was not possible to frame the effect of black hole within the theory of entanglement redistribution, nor a degradation of classical correlations was observable.
