If an Unruh-DeWitt detector moves with a uniform acceleration in Fock-space vacuum, then the transition rate of the detector is proportional to the thermal spectrum. It is well known that the transition rate of the detector crucially…

We investigate when temporal ordering becomes operationally meaningful in relativistic quantum field theory using localized detector models. A time parameter alone does not ensure that different sequences of operations are physically…
