It is shown that quantum particle detectors are not reliable probes of spacetime structure. In particular, they fail to distinguish between inertial and non-inertial motion in a general spacetime. To prove this, we consider detectors…
We consider two initially entangled Unruh-DeWitt particle detectors and examine how the initial entanglement changes after interacting with a quantum scalar field. As initially nonentangled detectors extract entanglement from the field,…

We give an interpretation of the temperature in de Sitter universe in terms of a dynamical Unruh effect associated with the Hubble sphere. As with the quantum noise perceived by a uniformly accelerated observer in static space-times,…
Light dark matter in the context of dark sector theories is an attractive candidate for the dark matter thought to make up the bulk of the mass of our universe. We explore here the possibility of using a low-pressure, negative-ion, time…
We show that the operational definition of non-classicality of a quantum state depends on the motion of the observer. We use the relativistic Unruh-DeWitt detector model to witness nonclassicality of the probed field state. It turns out…
We revisit the Unruh effect within a general framework based on direct, probability-level calculations. We rederive the transition rate of a uniformly accelerating Unruh-DeWitt monopole detector coupled to a massive scalar field, from both…
It is commonly stated that decoherence in open quantum systems is due to growing entanglement with an environment. In practice, however, surprisingly often decoherence may equally well be described by random unitary dynamics without…
Usual uniformly accelerated frame, in Dray-'t Hooft spacetime, does not see the any quantum imprint on Unruh effect due to localised shock wave in Minkowski spacetime. Here we argue that such non-appearance of quantum memory is specific to…
We analyze the operation of a switching-based detector that probes a qubit's observable that does not commute with the qubit's Hamiltonian, leading to a nontrivial interplay between the measurement and free-qubit dynamics. In order to…
In this paper, we extend the Unruh-DeWitt (UDW) model to include a relativistic quantized center of mass (c.m.) for the detector, which traditionally has a classical c.m. and follows a classical trajectory. We develop a relativistic model…
Quantum correlations described by quantum discord and one-way quantum deficit can contain ordinary regions with {\em constant} (i.e., universal) optimal measurement angle $0$ or $\pi/2$ with respect to the $z$-axis and regions with a {\em…
The behavior of accelerating Unruh-DeWitt detectors coupled with a spinor field in (3+1)-dimensional spacetime is investigated. For a single point-like detector with Gaussian switching function, the transition probability increases with the…
We investigate the trade-off between vacuum insensitivity and sensitivity to excitations in finite-size detectors, taking measurement locality as a fundamental constraint. We derive an upper bound on the detectability of vacuum excitation,…
We study the response of a rotating monopole detector that is coupled to a massless scalar field which is described by a non-linear dispersion relation in flat spacetime. Since it does not seem to be possible to evaluate the response of the…

Quantum field theory in curved spacetime is perhaps the most reliable framework in which one can investigate quantum effects in the presence of strong gravitational fields. Nevertheless, it is often studied by means of perturbative…
