While the Unruh effect has traditionally been studied under the assumption of uniform acceleration, a simplification motivated by experimental considerations, it is not necessarily true for all non-inertial motions. We propose a novel…

Two Fokker actions and corresponding equations of motion are obtained for two point particles in a post-Minkowski framework, in which the field of each particle is given by the half-retarded + half-advanced solution to the linearized…

This paper was concerned with the spin-momentum correlation in single-particle quantum states, which is described by the mixed states under Lorentz transformations. For convenience, instead of using the superposition of momenta we use only…

We investigate the limitations of length measurements by accelerated observers in Minkowski spacetime brought about via the hypothesis of locality, namely, the assumption that an accelerated observer at each instant is equivalent to an…

In highly conducting astrophysical plasmas, charged particles are generically accelerated through Fermi-type processes involving repeated interactions with moving magnetized scattering centers. The present paper proposes a generalized…

We study the entanglement distillability of bipartite mixed states of two modes of a free Dirac field as seen by two relatively accelerated parties. It is shown that there are states that will change from distillable into separable for a…

In the 1970s, Fulling, Davies, and Unruh demonstrated that the vacuum state perceived by an inertial observer in Minkowski space appears as a thermal bath to a uniformly accelerated observer. We explore the transformation of the Wigner…

We analyse the instantaneous transition rate of an accelerated Unruh-DeWitt particle detector whose coupling to a quantum field on Minkowski space is regularised by a finite spatial profile. We show, under mild technical assumptions, that…

We consider a continuous-variable quantum teleportation protocol between a uniformly accelerated sender in the right Rindler wedge, a conformal receiver restricted to the future light cone, and an inertial observer in the Minkowski vacuum.…

Moving detectors in relativistic quantum field theories reveal the fundamental entangled structure of the vacuum which manifests, for instance, through its thermal character when probed by a uniformly accelerated detector. In this paper, we…

We study accelerating relativistic reference frames in Minkowski space-time under the harmonic gauge. It is well-known that the harmonic gauge imposes constraints on the components of the metric tensor and also on the functional form of…

In this thesis we focus on the influence of uniform acceleration on quantum states and their properties, as well as on quantum entanglement contained in the vacuum. First, we analyze a quantum clock measuring time in terms of the decay of…

The generalization of the Larmor radiation formula in gravitational fields and with accelerating observers was obtained by Hirayama and others. We verify a special case of their result by explicit computation using a family of displaced…
