• Abstract summary: We investigate the transition rates of uniformly accelerated two-level single and entangled atomic systems in empty space and inside a cavity. For the two-atom system, we consider that the system is initially prepared in a generic pure entangled state. No transition occurs for a maximally entangled super-radiant initial state.

• Abstract: We investigate the transition rates of uniformly accelerated two-level single and entangled atomic systems in empty space as well as inside a cavity. We take into account the interaction between the systems and a massless scalar field from the viewpoint of an instantaneously inertial observer and a coaccelerated observer, respectively. The upward transition occurs only due to the acceleration of the atom. For the two-atom system, we consider that the system is initially prepared in a generic pure entangled state. In the presence of a cavity, we observe that for both the single and the two-atom cases, the upward and downward transitions are occurred due to the acceleration of the atomic systems. The transition rate manifests subtle features depending upon the cavity and system parameters, as well as the initial entanglement. It is shown that no transition occurs for a maximally entangled super-radiant initial state, signifying that such entanglement in the accelerated two-atom system can be preserved for quantum information procesing applications. Our analysis comprehensively validates the equivalence between the effect of uniform acceleration for an inertial observer and the effect of a thermal bath for a coaccelerated observer, in free space as well as inside a cavity, if the temperature of the thermal bath is equal to the Unruh temperature.

  coherent control of a two-level system is among the most essential challenges in modern quantum optics. We use a mechanically isolated quantum emitter in hexagonal boron nitride to explore the individual mechanisms which affect the coherence of an optical transition under resonant drive. New insights on the underlying physical decoherence mechanisms reveals a limit in temperature until which coherent driving of the system is possible.

  We investigate the behavior of a finite-momentum impurity immersed in a weakly interacting Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) of ultra-cold atoms. We identify a transition in the far-from-equilibrium dynamics of the system after the attractive short-range impurity-boson interaction is quenched on. The transition should be experimentally observable via a variety of common protocols in ultracold atomic systems.

  We consider the cooperative spontaneous emission of a system of two identical atoms, interacting with the electromagnetic field in the vacuum state. Using time-dependent theory, we investigate the spectrum of the radiation emitted by the two-atom system. We show that it is modulated in time, and that the presence of the oscillating mirror can enhance or inhibit the decay rate.

  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.

  We study the average rate of change of energy of two identical two-level atoms interacting with the vacuum massless scalar field in synchronized motion. We first show that for the two-atom system initially prepared in the factorizable eigenstates $|g_Ag_Brangle$ and $|e_Ae_Brangle$, both vacuum fluctuations and atomic radiation reaction contribute to the average rate of change of energy of the two-atom system. We then consider two special cases of motion of the two-atom system which is initially prepared in the symmetric/antisymmetric entangled state
