Worldline Influence Functional: Abraham-Lorentz-Dirac-Langevin Equation from QED
Philip R. Johnson, B. L. Hu
We present a stochastic theory of charges moving in an electromagnetic field using nonequilibrium quantum field theory. We give a first principles' derivation of the Abraham-Lorent…
Is there emitted radiation in Unruh effect?
B. L. Hu, Alpan Raval
The thermal radiance felt by a uniformly accelerated detector/oscillator/atom--the Unruh effect-- is often mistaken to be some emitted radiation detectable by an observer/probe/sen…
Beyond Unruh Effect: Nonequilibrium Quantum Dynamics of Moving Charges
B. L. Hu, Philip R. Johnson
We discuss some common misconceptions in Unruh effect and Unruh radiation for the cases of linear and circular uniform acceleration of a charged particle or detector moving in a qu…
Stochastic Theory of Relativistic Particles Moving in a Quantum Field: I. Influence Functional and Langevin Equation
Philip R. Johnson, B. L. Hu
We treat a relativistically moving particle interacting with a quantum field from an open system viewpoint of quantum field theory by the method of influence functionals or closed-…
