The Unruh effect in an Ion Trap: An Analogy
P. M. Alsing, J. P. Dowling, G. J. Milburn
We propose an experiment in which the phonon excitation of ion(s) in a trap, with a trap frequency exponentially modulated at rate , exhibits a thermal spectrum with an "Unruh"…
Entanglement vs. the quantum-to-classical transition
Shohini Ghose, Paul M. Alsing, Barry C. Sanders +1
We analyze the quantum-to-classical transition (QCT) for coupled bipartite quantum systems for which the position of one of the two subsystems is continuously monitored. We obtain…
Using a laser to cool a semiconductor
Danhong Huang, T. Apostolova, P. M. Alsing +1
A nonlocal energy-balance equation is derived for the optical absorption, photoluminescence and inelastic electron-phonon scattering, which determines the electron and hole tempera…
Simplified derivation of the Hawking-Unruh temperature for an accelerated observer in vacuum
Paul M. Alsing, Peter W. Milonni
A detector undergoing uniform acceleration in a vacuum field responds just as though it were immersed in thermal radiation of temperature . A simple, intuitive…
