• Abstract: We investigate the interaction between a moving detector and a quantum field, especially about how the trajectory of the detector would affect the vacuum fluctuations when the detector is moves in a quantum field (the Unruh effect). We focus on two moving detectors system for future application in quantum teleportation. We find that the rajectory of a uniformly accelerated detector in Rindler space cannot be extended to a trajectory in which a detector moves at constant velocity. Based on our previous work, we redo the calculations and find that a term is missing from the past calculations, and we also find that there are some restrictions on the values for the parameters in the solutions. In addition, without inclusion of the missing term, the variance from the quantum field for the inertial detector will be zero and is unlikely in such a system. When all these points are combined, there is a difference in the two-point correlation function between the inertial detector and the accelerated detector in the early-time region. The influence of proper acceleration can be seen in the two-point correlation functions. This might play a role in the quantum teleportation process and be worth studying thoroughly.

  We show how the LIGO A+ upgrade reduced the detectors' quantum noise below the Standard Quantum Limit by up to 3 dB while achieving a broadband sensitivity improvement. The Heisenberg uncertainty principle dictates that the position and momentum of an object cannot both be precisely measured.

• Does relativistic motion always degrade quantum Fisher information? [0.0]
  We investigate the ultimate estimation precision, characterized by the quantum Fisher information, of a two-level atom as a detector. For an inertial detector moving with a constant velocity, its quantum Fisher information is completely unaffected by the velocity. In the case for ultra-relativistic $(wrightarrowinfty)$, although the detector still interacts with the environment, it behaves as if it were a closed system.

  We introduce an operational way to distinguish between the overall shift in the pulse wavepacket and its genuine deformation after propagation. We then apply our technique to quantum states of photons that are coherent in the frequency degree of freedom. We find that the quantum coherence initially present can enhance the deformation induced by propagation in a curved background.

We argue that spectroscopic experiments offer a technologically feasible platform to explore the effects of quantum time dilation.

• Unruh-deWitt detectors in quantum superpositions of trajectories [0.0]
  We extend the standard treatment of an Unruh-deWitt detector to include the detector travelling in a quantum superposition of classical trajectories. We derive perturbative expressions for the final state of the detector, and show that it depends on field correlation functions evaluated locally. We show that in general, such a detector does not thermalise even if the superposed paths would individually yield the same thermal state.
