The thermal spectrum seen by accelerated observers in Minkowski space - known as the Unruh effect - is derived within the tunneling mechanism. This is a new result in this mechanism and it completes the treatment of Unruh effect via…

A thermo field dynamics approach for calculating the entropy of a spacetime is suggested. It is exemplified through the Rindler spacetime, the Milne spacetime, the Boulware spacetime, and the Minkowski spacetime with a moving mirror that…

We investigate a two-level Unruh-DeWitt detector coupled to a massless scalar field or its proper time derivative in $(1+1)$-dimensional Minkowski spacetime, in a quantum state whose correlation structure across the Rindler horizon mimics…
