General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology

Abstract
We give a brief description of some compelling connections between general relativity and thermodynamics through i) the semi-classical tunnelling method(s) and ii) the field-theoretical modelling of Unruh-DeWitt detectors. In both approaches it is possible to interpret some quantities in a thermodynamical frame.
