The eigenstates of two test-masses (where each test-mass is placed inside of a harmonic trap) separated by a distance, can get entangled where gravity acts as the mediator of entanglement and it has been argued in \href{https://doi.org/10.48550/arXiv.2511.07348}{a;rXiv:2511.07348 [quant-ph]} that this entanglement of masses cannot be generated without the underlying quantum nature of gravity. In this work, we consider two non-relativistic Bose-Einstein condensates (formed inside of harmonic trap potentials with identical trapping frequencies) separated by a distance. We take a linearized quantum gravity model and investigate the generation of entanglement while gravitons serve as the mediator of entanglement.
