Abstract

We study the quantum Fisher information (QFI) of acceleration, in the open quantum systems, for a two-level atom with the circular motion coupled to a massless scalar field in the Minkowski vacuum without and with a reflecting boundary in the ultra-relativistic limit. As we amplify aa, the saturation time decreases for θπ\theta\neq\pi, but first increases and then decreases for θ=π\theta=\pi. Without a boundary, there exists a peak value of QFI with a certain time. The QFI varies with the initial state parameter θ\theta, and firstly takes peak value in the ground state of the atom. The variation of QFI with respect to θ\theta gradually fades away with the evolution of time. With a boundary, the detection range of acceleration has been expanded. The QFI firstly takes the maximum in the excited state of the atom. In addition, we study the QFI of temperature for a static atom immersed in a thermal bath without and with a boundary. The relation between the saturation time and TT is similar to aa. Without a boundary, the QFI of temperature is similar to that of acceleration. With a boundary, the QFI firstly takes peak value in the ground state of the atom, which is different from the behavior of acceleration. The results provide references for the detection of Unruh-like effect.
