• Title: Field assisted extraction and swelling of quantum coherence for moving Unruh-DeWitt detectors
• Authors: Nikolaos K. Kollas, Dimitris Moustos, Kostas Blekos
• Abstract summary: We study the effects of motion for an Unruh-DeWitt detector, modeled as a two-level system, on the amount of coherence extracted. We observe that compared to a detector at rest, for certain values of the initial energy of the field and the interaction duration, the amount is larger for both a detector moving with a constant speed or uniform acceleration.

• Abstract: We study the effects of motion for an Unruh-DeWitt detector, modeled as a two-level system, on the amount of coherence extracted, when it interacts with a massless scalar coherent field in 1+1 Minkowski spacetime. We observe that compared to a detector at rest, for certain values of the initial energy of the field and the interaction duration, the amount is larger for both a detector moving with a constant speed or uniform acceleration. This "swelling" of coherence, which becomes more intense for increasing values of velocity or acceleration, is mostly observed for short durations, when the energy of the field is larger compared to that of the detector, and for longer durations but smaller field energies. As a consequence, the rate at which coherence is lost, is sometimes slower for a moving detector than for a detector at rest.

  We investigate the effects of relative motion on entanglement harvesting by considering a pair of Unruh-Dewitt detectors moving at arbitrary, but independent, velocities. We find that the Negativity is a function of the relative velocity of the detectors, as well as their energy gaps and minimal separation.

  Long-range properties of a quantum vacuum may be probed by distributing matter over a large spatial volume. We study two uniformly accelerated Unruh-DeWitt detectors which are spatially separated. When the inter-detector separation is much larger than the thermal wavelength of the Unruh thermal bath, the inter-detector interaction displays a completely new behavior.

  We show that it is possible to harvest quantum resources other than entanglement from a coherent field. For a detector moving at a constant velocity and with a mean radius of the same order as its transition wavelength, we observe that, for relativistic speeds, coherence swelling effects are present.

  We discuss the process of measurements by a detector in an uniformly accelerated rectilinear motion, interacting linearly with a massive scalar field. For the massless case, we obtain that the transition probability rate of the detector in the far future is tantamount to the analogous quantity for the detector at rest in a non-inertial reference frame.

The relative positions of these wavefronts are used to investigate the time-delay of quantum waves in the Klein-tunneling regime.
