Benchmarking the cosmological master equations

T Colas, J Grain, V Vennin - The European Physical Journal C, 2022 - Springer
Master equations are commonly employed in cosmology to model the effect of additional
degrees of freedom, treated as an “environment”, onto a given “system”. However, they rely …

Unruh phenomena and thermalization for qudit detectors

C Lima, E Patterson, E Tjoa, RB Mann - Physical Review D, 2023 - APS

Hot accelerated qubits: decoherence, thermalization, secular growth and reliable late-time predictions

G Kaplanek, CP Burgess - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2020 - Springer
A bstract We compute how an accelerating qubit coupled to a scalar field—ie an Unruh-
DeWitt detector—evolves in flat space, with an emphasis on its late-time behaviour. When …

[HTML][HTML] Relative entropy formulation of thermalization process in a Schwarzschild spacetime

SW Han, Z Ouyang, Z Hu, J Feng - Physics Letters B, 2025 - Elsevier
We revisit the problem of the thermalization process in an entropic formulation for the Unruh-
DeWitt (UDW) detector outside a Schwarzschild black hole. We derive the late-time …

Qubits on the horizon: decoherence and thermalization near black holes

G Kaplanek, CP Burgess - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2021 - Springer
A bstract We examine the late-time evolution of a qubit (or Unruh-De Witt detector) that
hovers very near to the event horizon of a Schwarzschild black hole, while interacting with a …

Asymptotic states of accelerated detectors and universality of the Unruh effect

D Moustos - Physical Review D, 2018 - APS
We treat an Unruh-DeWitt detector as an open quantum system and evaluate the response
of a uniformly accelerated detector:(i) interacting locally with the derivatives of a massless …

Control of entanglement, single excited-state population and memory-assisted entropic uncertainty of two qubits moving in a cavity by using a classical driving field
