Duality between amplitude and derivative coupled particle detectors in the limit of large energy gaps
arXiv:2305.11949 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.108.045017
Abstract
We present a duality between a particle detector model coupled to the amplitude of a scalar field and coupled to the field's derivative in the limit of large energy gaps. We show that the results of the models can be mapped to each other in a one-to-one fashion modulo a rescaling by the detector's gap. Our analysis is valid for arbitrary scalar fields in curved spacetimes, and requires minimal assumptions regarding the detectors. The duality also applies to the case where more than one detector is coupled to the field. This shows that many examples of entanglement harvesting with amplitude coupled UDW detectors give exactly the same result as derivative coupled detectors that interact with the field in the same region of spacetime.
