Quantum friction and fluctuation theorems
F. Intravaia, R. O. Behunin, D. A. R. Dalvit
We use general concepts of statistical mechanics to compute the quantum frictional force on an atom moving at constant velocity above a planar surface. We derive the zero-temperatu…
Limits on the accuracy of isoelectronic gravity measurements at short separation due to patch potentials
R. O. Behunin, D. A. R. Dalvit, R. S. Decca +1
In force sensing experiments intended to measure non-Newtonian gravitational signals electrostatic patch potentials can give rise to spurious forces, torques, and noise. Undesired…
Boundary Effects on Quantum Entanglement and its Dynamics in a Detector-Field System
Rong Zhou, Ryan O. Behunin, Shih-Yuin Lin +1
In this paper we analyze an exactly solvable model consisting of an inertial Unruh-DeWitt detector which interacts linearly with a massless quantum field in Minkowski spacetime wit…
