Spontaneous excitation of a uniformly accelerated atom coupled with vacuum Dirac field fluctuations
Wenting Zhou, Hongwei Yu
We study the spontaneous excitation of a uniformly accelerated two-level atom non-linearly coupled with vacuum Dirac field fluctuations using the formalism proposed by Dalibard, Du…

Can spacetime curvature induced corrections to Lamb shift be observable?
Wenting Zhou, Hongwei Yu
The Lamb shift results from the coupling of an atom to vacuum fluctuations of quantum fields, so corrections are expected to arise when the spacetime is curved since the vacuum flu…

Spontaneous excitation of a static multilevel atom coupled with electromagnetic vacuum fluctuations in Schwarzschild spacetime
Wenting Zhou, Hongwei Yu
We study the spontaneous excitation of a radially polarized static multilevel atom outside a spherically symmetric black hole in multi-polar interaction with quantum electromagneti…
