Minkowski vacuum entanglement and accelerated oscillator chains
Anatoly A. Svidzinsky, Marlan O. Scully, William Unruh
Minkowski vacuum is empty from the perspective of Unruh-Minkowski photons, however, in the Rindler picture, it is filled with entangled pairs of Rindler photons. A ground-state ato…

Unruh Acceleration Radiation Revisited
J. S. Ben-Benjamin, M. O. Scully, S. A. Fulling +8
When ground-state atoms are accelerated and the field with which they interact is in its normal vacuum state, the atoms detect Unruh radiation. We show that atoms falling into a bl…
