If particle creation is described by a Bogoliubov transformation, then, in the Heisenberg picture, the raising and lowering operators are time dependent. On the other hand, this time dependence is not consistent with field equations and the…

In this paper we calculate the massive particle creation as seen by a stationary observer in a $1+1$ dimensional spacetime compact in space. The Bogolubov transformation relating the annihilation and creation operators between two spacelike…
The Bogoliubov transformation is generally derived in the context of identical bosons with the use of ``second quantized'' a and $a^{\dagger}$ operators (or, equivalently, in field theory). Here, we show that the transformation, together…
A generalization of ``Termo Field Dynamics'' to a curved geometry is proposed. In particular a neutral scalar field minimally coupled to gravity is considered as matter content in a Robertson-Walker metric. A non linear amplification in the…
A proper choice of subsystems for a system of identical particles e.g., bosons, is provided by second-quantized modes i.e.,creation/annihilation operators. Here we investigate how the entanglement properties of bipartite gaussian states of…

We reanalyze the problem of particle creation in a 3+1 spatially closed Robertson-Walker space-time. We compute the total number of particles produced by this non-stationary gravitational background as well as the corresponding total energy…
Rotating traversable wormholes allow the effects of frame dragging and rotation to be studied in the absence of event horizons. We develop a quantum field theoretic treatment of massless scalar perturbations in the rotating Teo spacetime.…
A local current of particle density for scalar fields in curved background is constructed. The current depends on the choice of a two-point function. There is a choice that leads to local non-conservation of the current in a time-dependent…
We demonstrate that spin-orbit coupled states are generated in neutral magnetic spin 1/2 particles travelling through an electric field. The quantization axis of the orbital angular momentum is parallel to the electric field, hence both…
We consider classical particles coupled to the quantized electromagnetic field in the background of a spatially flat Robertson-Walker universe. We find that these particles typically undergo Brownian motion and acquire a non-zero mean…
We present a scheme to store unitary operators with self-inverse generators in quantum states and a general circuit to retrieve them with definite success probability. The continuous variable of the operator is stored in a single-qubit…
