Fermi-Frenet coordinates for space-like curves
Michael S. Underwood, Karl-Peter Marzlin
We generalize Fermi coordinates, which correspond to an adapted set of coordinates describing the vicinity of an observer's worldline, to the worldsheet of an arbitrary spatial cur…
States insensitive to the Unruh effect in multi-level detectors
Karl-Peter Marzlin, J"urgen Audretsch
We give a general treatment of the spontaneous excitation rates and the non-relativistic Lamb shift of constantly accelerated multi-level atoms as a model for multi-level detectors…
The Dipole Coupling of Atoms and Light in Gravitational Fields
Karl-Peter Marzlin
The dipole coupling term between a system of N particles with total charge zero and the electromagnetic field is derived in the presence of a weak gravitational field. It is shown…
On the physical meaning of Fermi coordinates
Karl-Peter Marzlin
(Some Latex problems should be removed in this version) Fermi coordinates (FC) are supposed to be the natural extension of Cartesian coordinates for an arbitrary moving observer in…
Ramsey fringes in atomic interferometry: measurability of the influence of space-time curvature
Jürgen Audretsch, Karl-Peter Marzlin
The influence od space-time curvature on quantum matter which can be theoretically described by covariant wave equations has not been experimentally established yet. In this paper…
