The Unruh effect and its applications

LCB Crispino, A Higuchi, GEA Matsas - Reviews of Modern Physics, 2008 - APS
It has been 30 years since the discovery of the Unruh effect. It has played a crucial role in
our understanding that the particle content of a field theory is observer dependent. This …

Geometric phase for an accelerated two-level atom and the Unruh effect

J Hu, H Yu - Physical Review A—Atomic, Molecular, and Optical …, 2012 - APS
We study, in the framework of open quantum systems, the geometric phase acquired by a
uniformly accelerated two-level atom undergoing nonunitary evolution due to its coupling to …

Quantum electrodynamics of accelerated atoms in free space and in cavities

A Belyanin, VV Kocharovsky, F Capasso, E Fry… - Physical Review A …, 2006 - APS
We consider a gedanken experiment with a beam of atoms in their ground state that are
accelerated through a single-mode cavity. We show that taking into account of the …

Spontaneous excitation of an accelerated atom in a spacetime with a reflecting plane boundary

H Yu, S Lu - Physical Review D—Particles, Fields, Gravitation, and …, 2005 - APS
We study a two-level atom in interaction with a real massless scalar quantum field in a
spacetime with a reflecting boundary. The presence of the boundary modifies the quantum …

Fulling-Davies-Unruh effect for accelerated two-level single and entangled atomic systems

A Mukherjee, S Gangopadhyay, AS Majumdar - Physical Review D, 2023 - APS
We investigate the transition rates of uniformly accelerated two-level single and entangled
atomic systems in empty space as well as inside a cavity. We take into account the …

[HTML][HTML] Fulling–Davies–Unruh effect and spontaneous excitation of an accelerated atom interacting with a quantum scalar field

Z Zhu, H Yu - Physics Letters B, 2007 - Elsevier
We investigate, from the point of view of a coaccelerated frame, the spontaneous excitation
of a uniformly accelerated two-level atom interacting with a scalar field in a thermal state at a …

Collective transitions of two entangled atoms and the Fulling-Davies-Unruh effect

W Zhou, H Yu - Physical Review D, 2020 - APS
We calculate respectively, from the viewpoints of an instantaneously/locally inertial observer
and a coaccelerated observer, the transition rates of the two-atom system in the symmetric …

Radiation emitted by a source orbiting a Schwarzschild–anti–de Sitter black hole

JPB Brito, RP Bernar, LCB Crispino - Physical Review D, 2021 - APS
We study the scalar radiation emitted by a source orbiting a Schwarzschild–anti–de Sitter
black hole in circular geodesics. We obtain the emitted power using quantum field theory in …

Single and entangled atomic systems in thermal bath and the Fulling-Davies-Unruh effect

A Mukherjee, S Gangopadhyay… - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2024 - arxiv.org
We revisit the Fulling-Davies-Unruh effect in the context of two-level single and entangled
atomic systems that are either uniformly accelerated or static in a thermal bath. We consider …

Addendum to “Radiation emitted by a source orbiting a Schwarzschild–anti–de Sitter black hole”
