States insensitive to the Unruh effect in multi-level detectors
We give a general treatment of the spontaneous excitation rates and the non-relativistic Lamb shift of constantly accelerated multi-level atoms as a model for multi-level detectors. Using a covariant formulation of the dipole coupling between the atom and the electromagnetic field we show that new Raman-like transitions can be induced by the acceleration. Under certain conditions these transiti...
متن کاملJa n 20 04 Vacuum fluctuations and moving atoms / detectors : From Casimir - Polder to Unruh Effect
In this note we report on some new results [1] on corrections to the Casimir-Polder [2] retardation force due to atomic motion and present a preliminary (unpublished) critique on one recently proposed cavity QED detection scheme of Unruh effect [3]. These two well-known effects arise from the interaction between a moving atom or detector with a quantum field under some boundary conditions intro...
متن کاملFirst Order Corrections to the Unruh Effect
First order corrections to the Unruh effect are calculated from a model of an accelerated particle detector of finite mass. We show that quantum smearing of the trajectory and large recoil essentially do not modify the Unruh effect. Nevertheless, we find corrections to the thermal distribution and to the Unruh temperature. In a certain limit, when the distribution at equilibrium remains exactly...
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...
متن کاملEntanglement Generation in the Unruh Effect
The master equation describing the completely positive time evolution of a uniformly accelerated two-level system in weak interaction with a scalar field in the Minkowski vacuum is derived and explicitly solved. It encodes the well known Unruh effect, leading to a purely thermal equilibrium state. This asymptotic state turns out to be entangled when the uniformly accelerating system is composed...
