The Future Quantum Workforce: Competences, Requirements and Forecasts

Franziska Greinert, Rainer Müller, Philipp Bitzenbauer +2

With the increasing industrial relevance of new quantum technologies, a well educated quantum workforce becomes increasingly crucial. The foreseeable lack of workforce raises impor…

Quantum physics in secondary school -- milq

Rainer Müller, Oxana Mishina

The milq approach to quantum physics for high schools focuses on the conceptual questions of quantum physics. Students should be given the opportunity to engage with the world view…

Decay of accelerated particles

Rainer Mueller

We study how the decay properties of particles are changed by acceleration. It is shown that under the influence of acceleration (1) the lifetime of particles is modified and (2) n…

Entanglement entropy in curved spacetimes with event horizons

Rainer Mueller, Carlos O. Lousto

We consider the computation of the entanglement entropy in curved backgrounds with event horizons. We use a Hamiltonian approach to the problem and perform numerical computations o…

Radiative energy shifts of accelerated atoms

Juergen Audretsch, Rainer Mueller

We consider the influence of acceleration on the radiative energy shifts of atoms in Minkowski space. We study a two-level atom coupled to a scalar quantum field. Using a Heisenber…

Relation between energy shifts and relaxation rates for a small system coupled to a reservoir

Juergen Audretsch, Rainer Mueller, Markus Holzmann

For a small system the coupling to a reservoir causes energy shifts as well as transitions between the system's energy levels. We show for a general stationary situation that the e…

Spontaneous excitation of an accelerated atom: The contributions of vacuum fluctuations and radiation reaction

Juergen Audretsch, Rainer Mueller

We consider an atom in interaction with a massless scalar quantum field. We discuss the structure of the rate of variation of the atomic energy for an arbitrary stationary motion o…

Quantum Gravity and Non-unitarity in Black Hole Evaporation

Claus Kiefer, Rainer Mueller, Tejinder P. Singh

We discuss the relevance of quantum gravitational corrections to the functional Schrödinger equation for the information loss paradox in black hole evaporation. These corrections a…

Recovery of information from black hole radiation by considering stimulated emission

R. Mueller, Carlos O. Lousto

We deal with the black hole information loss paradox by showing that the stimulated emission component of the black hole radiation contains information about the initial state of t…
