Abstract

The study of quantum mechanics in non-inertial reference frames, particularly in the context of open systems, introduces several intriguing phenomena and challenges. This paper presents a comprehensive framework for analyzing the quantum mechanics of open systems undergoing noninertial motion. Our methodology leverages the concept of dissipatons, statistical quasi-particles that capture collective dissipative effects from the environment. We demonstrate that our approach offers a natural understanding of the intricate dynamics among non-inertial effects, decoherence, dissipation, and system-bath entanglement. Specifically, we conduct demonstrations focusing on the Lamb shift phenomenon within a rotating ring cavity. Through theoretical exposition and practical applications, our framework elucidates the profound interplay between open quantum dynamics and non-inertial motion, paving the way for advancements in quantum information processing and sensing technologies.
