The emerging quantum

L De la Peña, AM Cetto… - The Physics Behind …, 2015 - Springer
Fifty years ago—in 1963, to be precise—the British physicist Trevor Marshall published a
paper in the Proceedings of the Royal Society under the short title Random Electrodynamics …

Entropy and topology for gravitational instantons

S Liberati, G Pollifrone - Physical Review D, 1997 - APS
In this work a relation between topology and thermodynamical features of gravitational
instantons is shown. The expression for the Euler characteristic, through the Gauss-Bonnet …

Entanglement of two qubits in a relativistic orbit

J Doukas, B Carson - Physical Review A—Atomic, Molecular, and Optical …, 2010 - APS
The creation and destruction of entanglement between a pair of interacting two-level
detectors accelerating about diametrically opposite points of a circular path is investigated. It …

Dirac vacuum: Acceleration and external-field effects

R Jáuregui, M Torres, S Hacyan - Physical Review D, 1991 - APS
The quantization of the massive spin-½ field in Rindler coordinates is considered, including
the effects of a background magnetic field. We calculate the expectation values of conserved …

Zero-point field in a circular-motion frame

SK Kim, KS Soh, JH Yee - Physical Review D, 1987 - APS
The energy spectrum of zero-point fields of a massless scalar field observed by a detector in
circular motion is studied by analyzing the Wightman function. It is shown to be quite …

A Gedanken Spacecraft that Operates Using the Quantum Vacuum (Dynamic Casimir Effect)

GJ Maclay, RL Forward - Foundations of Physics, 2004 - Springer
Conventional rockets are not a suitable technology for interstellar missions. Chemical
rockets require a very large weight of propellant, travel very slowly compared to light speed …

Generation of particles and squeezed states between moving conductors

C Villarreal, S Hacyan, R Jáuregui - Physical Review A, 1995 - APS
The quantization of the electromagnetic field between moving boundaries in four-
dimensional spacetime is studied. We consider the particular case of a field confined …

Acceleration through the Dirac-Pauli vacuum and effects of an external field

E Bautista - Physical Review D, 1993 - APS
The Dirac equation for a charged spin-1/2 particle with an anomalous magnetic moment μ'in
a background magnetic field is solved in Rindler coordinates (uniformly accelerated frame) …

Massless fields of arbitrary spin, uniformly accelerated frames, and the zero-point energy

S Hacyan - Physical Review D, 1985 - APS
The autocorrelation functions of fields of arbitrary spin are defined and the formal
equivalence between quantized fields and random classical fields is shown explicitly. The …

Vacuum stress-energy tensor of the electromagnetic field in rotating frames

S Hacyan, A Sarmiento - Physical Review D, 1989 - APS
A formalism for calculating the vacuum stress-energy tensor of the electromagnetic field in
an arbitrarily moving frame is presented and applied to a system in uniform rotation. The …
