Information propagation and entanglement generation between two Unruh-DeWitt detectors
The setup in which two quantum systems, Alice and Bob, communicate using bosonic field quanta can be viewed as a prototype for wireless quantum communication. In this thesis we focus on the most basic case, where Alice and Bob are modeled as Unruh-DeWitt detectors, i.e., as two-level quantum systems that interact locally through a scalar quantum field. Our aim is to study how information propag...
متن کاملJa n 20 04 Vacuum fluctuations and moving atoms / detectors : From Casimir - Polder to Unruh Effect
In this note we report on some new results [1] on corrections to the Casimir-Polder [2] retardation force due to atomic motion and present a preliminary (unpublished) critique on one recently proposed cavity QED detection scheme of Unruh effect [3]. These two well-known effects arise from the interaction between a moving atom or detector with a quantum field under some boundary conditions intro...
متن کاملDecoherence versus Dynamical Casimir Effect
By means of two simple examples: phase and amplitude damping, the impact of decoherence on the dynamical Casimir effect is investigated. Even without dissipating energy (i.e., pure phase damping), the amount of created particles can be diminished significantly via the coupling to the environment (reservoir theory) inducing decoherence. For a simple microscopic model, it is demonstrated that spo...
متن کاملCosmological Particle Creation and Dynamical Casimir Effect
In this paper we have considered the particle creation in the spatially closed Robertson-Walker space-time. We considered a real massive scalar field which con-formally coupled to the Robertson-Walker background. With the dependence of the scale factor on time, the case under consideration is a dynamical Casimir effect with moving boundaries.
متن کاملStates insensitive to the Unruh effect in multi-level detectors
We give a general treatment of the spontaneous excitation rates and the non-relativistic Lamb shift of constantly accelerated multi-level atoms as a model for multi-level detectors. Using a covariant formulation of the dipole coupling between the atom and the electromagnetic field we show that new Raman-like transitions can be induced by the acceleration. Under certain conditions these transiti...
