We study the quantum theory of the mass-less vector fields on the Rindler space. We evaluate the Bogoliubov coefficients by means of a new technique based upon the use of light-front coordinates and Mellin transform. We briefly comment…

Lorentz transformation equations provide us a set of relations between the spacetime coordinates as observed from two different inertial frames. In case, one of the frames is moving with a uniform rectilinear acceleration we have Rindler's…

We study the time-dependence of quantum entanglement between two Unruh-DeWitt detectors, one at rest in a Minkowski frame, the other non-uniformly accelerated in some specified way. The two detectors each couple to a scalar quantum field…

Using nonperturbative results obtained recently for an uniformly accelerated Unruh-DeWitt detector, we discover new features in the dynamical evolution of the detector's internal degree of freedom, and identified the Unruh effect derived…

We compute the relative entropy between the vacuum and a coherent state for a massive scalar field in de Sitter spacetime, using Tomita-Takesaki modular theory and the Araki-Uhlmann formula for the relative entropy. Embedding de Sitter…

In a quantum sense, vacuum is not an empty void but full of virtual particles (fields). It may have long-range properties, be altered, and even undergo phase transitions. It is suggested that long-range properties of a quantum vacuum may be…

We demonstrate that the future and left Rindler wedges of Minkowski spacetime are entangled, leading to the Unruh effect. Similarly, the past and right Rindler wedges are also entangled. We propose a protocol to extract this entanglement…

We investigate the radiative processes involving two entangled Unruh-DeWitt detectors that are moving on circular trajectories in $(2+1)$-dimensional Minkowski spacetime. We assume that the detectors are coupled to a massless, quantum…

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…

Unruh-DeWitt (UDW) detector that couples locally to a quantum field is an important tool for operationally studying field properties. Here, we study the response of an inertial UDW detector to a non-relativistic particle state of a massive…
