We present a generalized framework for $n$-photon processes involving a uniformly accelerated Unruh-DeWitt detector interacting with a massless scalar field. We utilize the $n^\text{th}$ order Dyson series to derive the final quantum state…

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…

Particle detector models allow to give an operational definition to the particle content of a given quantum state of a field theory. The commonly adopted Unruh-DeWitt type of detector is known to undergo temporary transitions to excited…

The CPT invariant vacuum states of a scalar field in de Sitter space, called $\alpha$-vacua, are not unique. We explore the $\alpha$-vacua from the quantum information perspective by a pair of static Unruh-DeWitt (UDW) detectors coupled to…
