Previously, we showed that, owing to effects arising from quantum electrodynamics (QED), magnetohydrodynamic fast modes of sufficient strength will break down to form electron-positron pairs while traversing the magnetospheres of strongly…
We experimentally demonstrate a method to determine the temperature of trapped ions which is suitable for monitoring fast thermalization processes. We show that observing and analyzing the lineshape of dark resonances in the fluorescence…
We construct a smooth trajectory in Minkowski spacetime that is inertial in the asymptotic past and future but undergoes approximately uniform acceleration for a finite duration. In a suitable limit, this trajectory reduces to the standard…
We analyse the effect of velocity and acceleration on the temperature felt by particles and strings in backgrounds relevant in holographic models. First, we compare accelerated strings and strings at finite temperature. We find that for…
We investigate Brownian motions of a particle coupled to vacuum fluctuations of a quantum field. The Unruh effect predicts that an observer in an accelerated motion sees the Minkowski vacuum as thermally excited. This addresses the problem…
In this contribution we describe some interesting interplay between quantum theory, general relativity and thermodynamics. In order to highlight the connection between these theories, we describe two approaches that allow to calculate…
It is found that the Unruh effect can not only arise out of the entanglement between two sets of modes spanning the left and right Rindler wedges, but also between modes spanning the future and past light cones. Furthermore, an inertial…
A long-standing debate on Unruh effect is about its obscure thermal nature. In this Letter, we use quantum Fisher information (QFI) as an effective probe to explore the thermal nature of Unruh effect from both local and global perspectives.…
The course of non-thermal electron ejection in relativistic unmagnetized electron-ion shocks is investigated by performing self-consistent particle-in-cell simulations. The shocks are excited through the injection of relativistic jet into…
We consider the response of an Unruh detector to scalar fields in an expanding space-time. When combining transition elements of the scalar field Hamiltonian with the interaction operator of detector and field, one finds at second order in…
Entropic-force cosmology provides, in contrast with dark energy descriptions, a concrete physical understanding of the accelerated expansion of the universe. The acceleration appears to be a consequence of the entropy associated with the…
We study the detailed balance temperatures recorded along all classes of stationary, uniformly accelerated worldlines in four-dimensional Minkowski spacetime, namely along (i) linear uniform acceleration, (ii) cusped, (iii) circular, (iv)…
The effect of thermal treatment on relaxation phenomena in Kr matrices irradiated with a low energy electron beam has been studied. The experiments were performed employing measurements of the relaxation emissions from preliminary…
We introduce a thermodynamical model based on the two-temperature approach in order to fully understand the dynamics of the coherent A$_{1g}$ phonon in laser-excited bismuth. Using this model, we simulate the time evolution of (111) Bragg…
A uniformly accelerated atom in an inertial vacuum generally thermalizes and reaches a Gibbs state. This phenomenon is commonly known as the Unruh effect. Here, we show that the situation is entirely different for the many-atoms problem. In…
The degradation of thermal conductivity in advanced nuclear fuels due to the accumulation of fission products and irradiation-induced defects is inevitable, and must be considered as part of safety and efficiency analyses of nuclear…
Magnetic reconnection is a ubiquitous astrophysical process that rapidly converts magnetic energy into some combination of plasma flow energy, thermal energy, and non-thermal energetic particles, including energetic electrons. Various…
We present a closed-form analysis of second-order two-photon emission from a uniformly accelerated Unruh-DeWitt detector with a smooth Gaussian switch and derivative coupling. The time-ordered Dyson integrals are evaluated exactly, yielding…
We identify the relativistic-fluid counterpart of the Unruh effect, in which a comoving probe measures a Thermodynamic Unruh temperature. Frame changes in first-order hydrodynamics are recast as a local, time-dependent hyperbolic rotation…
We present a first-principles study of the structure and energetics of Bjerrum defects in ice Ih and compare the results to experimental electrical conductivity data. While the DFT result for the activation energy is in good agreement with…
