Abstract
We study a uniformly accelerated detector coupled to a massless scalar field for a finite time interval. By considering the detector initially prepared in a superposition state, qubit state, we find that the acceleration induces decoherence on the qubit. Our results suggest the dependence of loss of coherence on the polar angle of qubit state on a Bloch sphere and the time interaction. The adjust those parameters can significantly improve the conditions to estimate the degree of decoherence induced by Unruh radiation.
