Comment on "Ideal clocks -- a convenient fiction" by K. Lorek et al

Abstract

We correct a subtle oversight in Eq.(19) of K. Lorek et al. [Class. Quantum Grav. 32 175003 (2015)] concerning the decay probability of a uniformly accelerated quantum clock. The original expression included unphysical cross-wedge term ($|{\bar{\gamma }}_{K1}{|}^2$) violating the spatial separation of Rindler wedges. We derive the corrected probability using the paper's Rindler conformal coordinates $(\tau ,\xi )$, retaining only causally consistent thermal terms, and discuss implications for relativistic clock models.
