We find that a uniformly accelerated particle detector coupled to the vacuum can cool down as its acceleration increases, due to relativistic effects. We show that in (1+1)-dimensions, a detector coupled to the scalar field vacuum for…

A model detector undergoing constant, infinite-duration acceleration converges to an equilibrium state described by the Hawking-Unruh temperature $T_a=(a/2\pi)(\hbar/c)$. To relate this prediction to experimental observables, a point-like…
The question, whether an open system dynamics is Markovian or non-Markovian can be answered by studying the direction of the information flow in the dynamics. In Markovian dynamics, information must always flow from the system to the…
With increasing performance of actual qubit devices, even subtle effects in the interaction between qubits and environmental degrees of freedom become progressively relevant and experimentally visible. This applies particularly to the…

The initial stages of the evolution of an open quantum system encode the key information of its underlying dynamical correlations, which in turn can predict the trajectory at later stages. We propose a general approach based on…
We investigate the behavior in time of the energy current between a quantum spin chain and its surrounding non-Markovian, finite temperature baths, together with its relationship to the coherence dynamics of the system. To be specific, both…
