The environment of a quantum dot, which is connected to two leads, is modeled by telegraph noise, i.e. random Markovian jumps of the (spinless) electron energy on the dot between two levels. The temporal evolutions of the charge on the dot…
We calculate the transition rate of an Unruh-DeWitt detector coupled to a non-equilibrium steady state (NESS) of a free massless scalar field on four-dimensional Minkowski spacetime. Bringing two semi-infinite heat baths at different…
