Hot Cosmic Qubits: Late-Time de Sitter Evolution and Critical Slowing Down
Greg Kaplanek, C. P. Burgess
Temporal evolution of a comoving qubit coupled to a scalar field in de Sitter space is studied with an emphasis on reliable extraction of late-time behaviour. The phenomenon of cri…

Hot Accelerated Qubits: Decoherence, Thermalization, Secular Growth and Reliable Late-time Predictions
Greg Kaplanek, C. P. Burgess
We compute how an accelerating qubit coupled to a scalar field - i.e. an Unruh-DeWitt detector - evolves in flat space, with an emphasis on its late-time behaviour. When calculable…
