Motion of inertial observers through negative energy.
Recent research has indicated that negative energy fluxes due to quantum coherence effects obey uncertainty principle-type inequalities of the form |∆E| ∆τ < ∼ 1. Here |∆E| is the magnitude of the negative energy which is transmitted on a timescale ∆τ. Our main focus in this paper is on negative energy fluxes which are produced by the motion of observers through static negative energy regions. ...
متن کاملGravitational vacuum polarization IV: Energy conditions in the Unruh vacuum
Building on a series of earlier papers [gr-qc/9604007,9604008,9604009], I investigate the various point-wise and averaged energy conditions in the Unruh vacuum. I consider the quantum stress-energy tensor corresponding to a conformally coupled massless scalar field, work in the test-field limit, restrict attention to the Schwarzschild geometry, and invoke a mixture of analytical and numerical t...
متن کاملDiscrete nonlinear observers for inertial navigation
We derive an exact deterministic nonlinear observer to compute the continuous state of an inertial navigation system based on partial discrete measurements, the so-called strap-down problem. Nonlinear contraction is used as the main analysis tool, and the hierarchical structure of the system physics is systematically exploited. The paper also discusses the use of nonlinear measurements, such as...
متن کاملUnruh Effect for General Trajectories
We consider two-level detectors coupled to a scalar field and moving on arbitrary trajec-tories in Minkowski space-time. We first derive a generic expression for the response function using a (novel) regularization procedure based on the Feynmann prescription that is explicitly causal, and we compare it to other expressions used in the literature. We then use this expression to study, analytica...
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...
