A Brief Introduction to Temporality and Causality
Causality is a non-obvious concept that is often considered to be related to temporality. In this paper we present a number of past and present approaches to the definition of temporality and causality from philosophical, physical, and computational points of view. We note that time is an important ingredient in many relationships and phenomena. The topic is then divided into the two main areas...
متن کاملThe Unruh effect revisited
We give a complete and rigorous proof of the Unruh effect, in the following form. We show that the state of a two-level system, uniformly accelerated with proper acceleration a, and coupled to a scalar bose field initially in the Minkowski vacuum state will converge, asymptotically in the detector’s proper time, to the Gibbs state at inverse temperature β = 2π a . The result also holds if the f...
متن کاملA remark on the Schrödinger smoothing effect
— We prove the equivalence between the smoothing effect for a Schrödinger operator and the decay of the associate spectral projectors. We give two applications to the Schrödinger operator in dimension one. Résumé. — On donne une caractérisation de l’effet régularisant pour un opérateur de Schrödinger par la décroissance de ses projecteurs spectraux. On en déduit deux applications à l’opérateur ...
متن کاملEnergy Conservation and the Unruh Effect
In this paper it is explicitly demonstrated that the energy conservation law is kept when a detector uniformly accelerated in the Minkowski vacuum is excited and emits a particle. This fact had been hidden in conventional approaches in which detectors were considered to be forced on trajectories. To lift the veil we suggest the transition amplitude written in terms of the Minkowski coordinates....
متن کاملUnruh Effect in Storage Rings
A uniformly accelerated system will get thermally excited due to interactions with the vacuum fluctuations of the quantum fields. This is the Unruh effect. Also a system accelerated in a circular orbit will be heated, but in this case complications arise relative to the linear case. An interesting question is in what sense the real quantum effects for orbital and spin motion of a circulating el...
