Hawking-Unruh Radiation and Radiation of a Uniformly Accelerated Charge

Hawking-Unruh radiation is a measure of the quantum fluctuations in the radiation of accelerated charges. In the case of uniform acceleration, the existence of Unruh radiation adds confidence that radiation exists at all, and helps clarify aspects of the equivalence between radiation in uniform acceleration and in a uniform gravitational field. 1 Hawking-Unruh Radiation According to Hawking [1]...

Unruh Radiation with Ultra - Intense Lasers ?

ABSTRACT We point out that using the state-of-the-art (or soon-to-be) intense ultrafast laser technology, violent acceleration that may be suitable for testing general relativistic e ects can be realized through the interaction of a high intensity laser with a plasma. In particular, we demonstrate that the Unruh radiation is detectable, in principle, beyond the conventional radiation (most nota...

Quantum metrology and estimation of Unruh effect

We study the quantum metrology for a pair of entangled Unruh-Dewitt detectors when one of them is accelerated and coupled to a massless scalar field. Comparing with previous schemes, our model requires only local interaction and avoids the use of cavities in the probe state preparation process. We show that the probe state preparation and the interaction between the accelerated detector and the...

Uniformly Accelerated Charge in a Quantum Field: From Radiation Reaction to Unruh Effect

We present a stochastic theory for the nonequilibrium dynamics of charges moving in a quantum scalar field based on the worldline influence functional and the close-time-path (CTP or in-in) coarse-grained effective action method. We summarize (1) the steps leading to a derivation of a modified AbrahamLorentz-Dirac equation whose solutions describe a causal semiclassical theory free of runaway s...
