Abstract: We study the accelerated motion of mirrors and the photonic Unruh effect. The solutions of Maxwell's equations with appropriate boundary conditions in Rindler coordinates are found. The canonical quantization of the field is carried out properly. Important consequences arise from the presence of mirrors or polarizers. It is shown that a single reflective surface produces frequency quantization due to Dirichlet conditions applied to the $-1/(\alpha x)^2$ anomalous potential for non-inertial observers. The number of photons per accelerated mode is estimated via Hankel functions.

Wavevector-resolved polarization entanglement from radiative cascades [27.84599956781646]
We show that there exists an interplay between photon polarization and emission wavevector, strongly affecting quantum correlations when emitters are embedded in micro-cavities. Our results, backed by theoretical modelling, yield a brand-new understanding of cascaded emission for various quantum emitters.

Quantum electrodynamics of lossy magnetodielectric samples in vacuum: modified Langevin noise formalism [55.2480439325792]
We analytically derive the modified Langevin noise formalism from the established canonical quantization of the electromagnetic field in macroscopic media. We prove that each of the two field parts can be expressed in term of particular bosonic operators, which in turn diagonalize the electromagnetic Hamiltonian.

Real-time dynamics of false vacuum decay [49.1574468325115]
We investigate false vacuum decay of a relativistic scalar field in the metastable minimum of an asymmetric double-well potential. We employ the non-perturbative framework of the two-particle irreducible (2PI) quantum effective action at next-to-leading order in a large-N expansion.

Dirac Equation for Photons: Origin of Polarisation [0.0]
We discuss propagation of coherent rays of photons in a graded-index optical fibre. The energy spectrum is massive with the effective mass as a function of the confinement and orbital angular momentum. Spin expectation value of a photon corresponds to the polarisation state in the Poincar'e sphere.

The reflected frequency and momentum based on Einstein mirror is studied instead of the canonical way of solving wave equations. In the case of a finite-size mirror, diffraction pattern appears in the radiation spectrum.

Effect of a moving mirror on the free fall of a quantum particle in a homogeneous gravitational field [0.0]
We investigate the effect of time-dependent boundary conditions on the dynamics of a quantum bouncer -- a particle falling in a homogeneous gravitational field on a moving mirror. We find that some effects, such as the fact that a quantum particle hitting a moving mirror may bounce significantly higher than when the mirror is fixed, are in line with classical intuition.

Motion induced excitation and electromagnetic radiation from an atom facing a thin mirror [62.997667081978825]
We evaluate the probability of (de-)excitation and photon emission from a neutral, moving, non-relativistic atom, coupled to a quantum electromagnetic field and in the presence of a thin, perfectly conducting plane ("mirror") Results extend to a more realistic model, where the would-be electron was described by a scalar variable, coupled to an (also scalar) vacuum field.

Dynamical Casimir effect enhanced by decreasing the mirror reflectivity [62.997667081978825]
We show that a partially reflecting static mirror with time-dependent properties can produce, via dynamical Casimir effect, a larger number of particles than a perfectly reflecting one. As particular limits, our results recover those found in the literature for a perfect static mirror imposing a generalized or an usual time-dependent Robin boundary condition.

Light and Airy: a simple solution for relativistic quantum acceleration radiation [0.0]
We study the quantum radiation of particle production by vacuum from an ultra-relativistic moving mirror (dynamical Casimir effect) solution. The reality of the beta Bogoliubov coefficients is responsible for the simplicity, and the mirror is inertialally at the speed of light, with finite energy production.
