Controlling the ratchet effect for cold atoms.
Low-order quantum resonances manifested by directed currents have been realized with cold atoms. Here we show that by increasing the strength of an experimentally achievable delta-kicking ratchet potential, quantum resonances of a very high order may naturally emerge and can induce larger ratchet currents than low-order resonances, with the underlying classical limit being fully chaotic. The re...
متن کاملUnruh Effect in Storage Rings
A uniformly accelerated system will get thermally excited due to interactions with the vacuum fluctuations of the quantum fields. This is the Unruh effect. Also a system accelerated in a circular orbit will be heated, but in this case complications arise relative to the linear case. An interesting question is in what sense the real quantum effects for orbital and spin motion of a circulating el...
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 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results [1] on corrections to the Casimir-Polder [2] retardation force due to atomic motion and present a preliminary (unpublished) critique on one recently proposed cavity QED detection scheme of Unruh effect [3].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 کاملGeneralized Unruh effect and Lamb shift for atoms on arbitrary stationary trajectories
We study the spontaneous de-excitation and excitation of accelerated atoms on arbitrary stationary trajectories (“generalized Unruh effect”). We consider the effects of vacuum fluctuations and radiation reaction separately. We show that radiation reaction is generally not altered by stationary acceleration, whereas the contribution of vacuum fluctuations differs for all stationary accelerated t...
