Wavepacket detection with the Unruh-DeWitt model

E Martín-Martínez, M Montero, M del Rey - Physical Review D—Particles, Fields …, 2013 - APS
In this paper we deal with several issues regarding the localization properties of the Unruh-
DeWitt (UdW) detector model. Since its original formulation as a pointlike detector, the UdW …

Cosmological quantum entanglement

E Martin-Martinez, NC Menicucci - Classical and Quantum …, 2012 - iopscience.iop.org
We review recent literature on the connection between quantum entanglement and
cosmology, with an emphasis on the context of expanding universes. We discuss recent …

Sustainable entanglement production from a quantum field

E Martín-Martínez, EG Brown, W Donnelly… - Physical Review A—Atomic …, 2013 - APS
We propose a protocol by which entanglement can be extracted repeatedly from a quantum
field. In analogy with prior work on entanglement harvesting, we call this protocol …

Relativistic Unruh-DeWitt detectors with quantized center of mass

EPG Gale, M Zych - Physical Review D, 2023 - APS
In this paper, we extend the Unruh-DeWitt (UDW) model to include a relativistic quantized
center of mass (cm) for the detector, which traditionally has a classical cm and follows a …

Stückelberg interference in a superconducting qubit under periodic latching modulation

MP Silveri, KS Kumar, J Tuorila, J Li… - New Journal of …, 2015 - iopscience.iop.org
When the level separation of a qubit is modulated periodically across an avoided crossing,
tunneling to the excited state—and consequently Landau–Zener–Stückelberg interference …

Relativistic quantum metrology in open system dynamics

Z Tian, J Wang, H Fan, J Jing - Scientific reports, 2015 - nature.com
Quantum metrology studies the ultimate limit of precision in estimating a physical quantity if
quantum strategies are exploited. Here we investigate the evolution of a two-level atom as a …

Quantum signaling in cavity QED

RH Jonsson, E Martín-Martínez, A Kempf - Physical Review A, 2014 - APS
We consider quantum signaling between two-level quantum systems in a cavity in the
perturbative regime of the earliest possible arrival times of the signal. We present two main …

Processing quantum information with relativistic motion of atoms

E Martin-Martinez, D Aasen, A Kempf - Physical Review Letters, 2013 - APS
We show that particle detectors, such as two-level atoms, in noninertial motion (or in
gravitational fields) could be used to build quantum gates for the processing of quantum …

Mechanically generating entangled photons from the vacuum: A microwave circuit-acoustic resonator analog of the oscillatory Unruh effect

H Wang, MP Blencowe, CM Wilson, AJ Rimberg - Physical Review A, 2019 - APS
We consider a model for an oscillatory, relativistic accelerating photodetector inside a cavity
and show that the entangled photon pair production from the vacuum (Unruh effect) can be …

Dynamics and quantum entanglement of two-level atoms in de Sitter spacetime

Z Tian, J Jing - Annals of Physics, 2014 - Elsevier
In the framework of open quantum systems, we study the internal dynamics of both freely
falling and static two-level atoms interacting with quantized conformally coupled massless …
