Effect of relativistic motion on witnessing non-classicality of quantum states
arXiv:1604.03845 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.95.013817
Abstract
We show that the operational definition of non-classicality of a quantum state depends on the motion of the observer. We use the relativistic Unruh-DeWitt detector model to witness nonclassicality of the probed field state. It turns out that the witness based on the properties of the P-representation of the quantum state depends on the trajectory of the detector. Inertial and noninertial motion of the device have qualitatively different impact on the performance of the witness.
