Probing long-range properties of vacuum altered by uniformly accelerating two spatially separated Unruh-DeWitt detectors
Shijing Cheng, Wenting Zhou, Hongwei Yu
In a quantum sense, vacuum is not an empty void but full of virtual particles (fields). It may have long-range properties, be altered, and even undergo phase transitions. It is sug…
Quantum thermal field fluctuation induced corrections to the interaction between two ground-state atoms
Shijing Cheng, Wenting Zhou, Hongwei Yu
We generalize the formalism proposed by Dalibard, Dupont-Roc, and Cohen-Tannoudji [the DDC formalism] in the fourth order for two atoms in interaction with scalar fields in vacuum…
The Lamb shift in de Sitter spacetime
Wenting Zhou, Hongwei Yu
We study the Lamb shift of both freely-falling and static two-level atoms in interaction with quantized conformally coupled massless scalar fields in the de Sitter-invariant vacuum…
Lamb Shift for static atoms outside a Schwarzschild black hole
Wenting Zhou, Hongwei Yu
We study, by separately calculating the contributions of vacuum fluctuations and radiation reaction to the atomic energy level shift, the Lamb shift of a static two-level atom inte…
Relationship between Hawking radiation from black holes and spontaneous excitation of atoms
Hongwei Yu, Wenting Zhou
Using the formalism that separates the contributions of vacuum fluctuations and radiation reaction to the rate of change of the mean atomic energy, we show that a two-level atom in…
