We study the correlations between the particles emitted by a moving mirror. To this end, we first analyze $< T_{\mu\nu}(x) T_{\alpha\beta}(x') >$, the two-point function of the stress tensor of the radiation field. In this we generalize the…
We consider a movable mirror coupled to a one-dimensional massless scalar field in a cavity. Both the field and the mirror's mechanical degrees of freedom are described quantum-mechanically, and they can interact each other via the…
