When one sign is not enough: 2+1 circular motion Unruh effect at low energies
Leo J. A. Parry, Christopher J. Fewster, Jorma Louko
We address the circular motion Unruh effect in 2+1 spacetime dimensions, as probed by a pointlike Unruh-DeWitt detector coupled to a massless scalar field. The effective temperatur…
Back-action from inertial and non-inertial Unruh-DeWitt detectors revisited in covariant perturbation theory
Adam S. Wilkinson, Leo J. A. Parry, Jorma Louko +1
We investigate the back-action from a spatially pointlike particle detector on a quantum scalar field, as characterised by the expectation value of the field's stress-energy tensor…
Waiting around for Unruh
Leo J. A. Parry, Diego Vidal-Cruzprieto, Christopher J. Fewster +1
How long does a uniformly rotating observer need to interact with a quantum field in order to register an approximately thermal response due to the circular motion Unruh effect? We…
Connecting the circular and drifted Rindler Unruh effects
Leo J. A. Parry, Jorma Louko
In Minkowski spacetime quantum field theory, each stationary motion is associated with an effective, energy-dependent notion of temperature, which generalises the familiar Unruh te…
