Localized discussion of stimulated processes for Rindler observers and accelerated detectors

Abstract

We investigat,? the implicat,ions of the presence of Minkowski part,icles on the Rindler particle content in the accelerated frame as well as on the excitation and deexcitat,ion of an accelerated particle detector. To obtaiii localized statements, the field quantization is based on wave packets. For bosonic particles, nonempty Minkowski modes imply an amplification of the number of Kindler. particles in specific modes. The ilnrlerlying processes reflect a nonlocal pair strlicture: specific pairs of modes with trajectories of the wave packet maxima passing different Rindler wedges are correlated. An elementary object of quantum optics in noninertial situations is the accelerated detector. The richer structure of the physics of its excitation and deexcitation is studied in detail. In addition to the generalizations of the inert,ially known excitation and deexcitation processes thew are structurally new processes that are inertially forbidden. These processes reflect the nonlocal pair correlations.

A primer for black hole quantum physics

“…This extended formalism finds important application when considering the physics of the accelerated detector since the accelerated detector itself plays the role of post selector. In this way one can study the EPR correlations between the state of a uniformly accelerated detector and the radiation field, thereby clarifying and generalizing the results of [94], [4], [41].…”

“…We shall present in detail the energy emitted by the accelerated detector. The first subsection is qualitative and shows how the paradoxes which have been raised (see for instance and in historical order [94], [41], [80], [92], [64], [4], [63]) can be rationalized. In the second subsection the energy emitted is computed in perturbation theory and particular attention is paid to how it is correlated to the final state of the atom.…”

Quantum information and relativity theory

“…The relationship between Minkowski and Rindler wave packets was analyzed by Audretsch and Müller (1994a). These authors also discussed local detection by Rindler observers and EPR-like correlations (Audretsch and Müller, 1994a, b).…”

“…• It is possible to indicate the approximate orientation of a Cartesian frame by means of a few suitably prepared spins (Bagan, Baig, and Muñoz-Tapia, 2001), or even a single hydrogen atom (Peres and Scudo, 2001). Likewise, the quantum transmission of the orientation of a Lorentz frame should be possible.…”

The Master Equation for Two-Level Accelerated Systems at Finite Temperature

“…The present work aims at investigating the manifestation of the Unruh effect, approaching the issue from yet another perspective [19,20]. We consider a two-level system in interaction with a non-massive scalar field, for which we deduce a master equation from Von Neumann equation .…”
