- Abstract summary: We present an exactly soluble electron trajectory that permits an analysis of the soft (deep infrared) radiation emitted.
Our treatment also predicts the time evolution and temperature of the emission, and possibly the spectrum, by analogy with the closely related phenomenon of the dynamic Casimir effect.

- Abstract: We present an exactly soluble electron trajectory that permits an analysis of
the soft (deep infrared) radiation emitted, the existence of which has been
experimentally observed during beta decay via lowest order inner
bremsstrahlung. Our treatment also predicts the time evolution and temperature
of the emission, and possibly the spectrum, by analogy with the closely related
phenomenon of the dynamic Casimir effect.

We show that even for sub-Doppler temperatures, the motion of atoms can significantly affect the nature of both superradiation and subradiation.
It is shown that the change in the lifetime of the given adiabatic term of the diatomic quasi-molecule induced by the change in the interatomic distance can lead not to the anticipated weakening of subradiation effect but to its enhancement.

We calculate the steady-state fluctuations of both the atomic-spin and the light-field operators.
While the atoms become entangled below a critical drive, exhibiting spin squeezing, we show that the light is in a classical-like coherent state.
The presented Heisenberg-Langevin approach should be simple to generalize for treating superradiance beyond the permutation-symmetric Dicke model.

We propose an experiment to test whether there is emission of thermal photons from an accelerated electron.

Time-varying media can be seized to control and manipulate wave phenomena.
Time-modulation releases strong field fluctuations confined within epsilon-near-zero bodies.
It enables a narrowband (partially coherent) emission spanning the whole range of wavevectors.

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.
