Atom-Field-Medium Interactions III: Quantum Field-mediated Entanglement between Two Atoms near a Conducting Surface
Jen-Tsung Hsiang, Bei-Lok Hu
This third paper in this series continues the investigation of atom-field interactions in the presence of a conductor or a dielectric medium, focusing on quantum information relate…
Atom-Field-Medium Interactions II: Covariance Matrix Dynamics for Harmonic Atoms in a Dielectric-Altered Quantum Field and Effects of Dielectric on Atom-Field Entanglement
Jen-Tsung Hsiang, Bei-Lok Hu
We continue our investigation of multi-partite open quantum systems comprising layers of structure using the atom-field-medium interactions as a familiarly important example. Same…
Foundational Issues in Dynamical Casimir Effect and Analogue Features in Cosmological Particle Creation
Jen-Tsung Hsiang, Bei-Lok Hu
Moving mirrors as analogue sources of Hawking radiation from black holes have been explored extensively, less so with cosmological particle creation (CPC), even though the analogy…
Atom-Field-Medium Interactions I: Graded Influence Actions for Harmonic Atoms in a Dielectric-Altered Quantum Field
Jen-Tsung Hsiang, Bei-Lok Hu
This series of papers has two broader aims: 1) Construct a theory for multi-partite open quantum systems comprising several layers of structure with self-consistent back-actions. D…
Graviton physics: Quantum field theory of gravitons, graviton noise and gravitational decoherence -- a concise tutorial
Jen-Tsung Hsiang, Hing-Tong Cho, Bei-Lok Hu
The detection of gravitational waves in 2015 ushered in a new era of gravitational wave astronomy capable of probing into the strong field dynamics of black holes and neutron stars…
Heat capacity and quantum compressibility of dynamical spacetimes with thermal particle creation
Jen-Tsung Hsiang, Yu-Cun Xie, Bei-Lok Hu
This work continues the investigation in two recent papers on the quantum thermodynamics of spacetimes, 1) placing what was studied in [1] for thermal quantum fields in the context…
