- Abstract: We study the entanglement dynamics of accelerated atoms using the theory of
open quantum systems. We consider two atoms travelling along different
hyperbolic trajectories with different proper times. We use the generalized
master equation to discuss the dynamics of a pair of dipoles interacting with
the electromagnetic field. The fundamental role played by proper acceleration
in the entanglement harvesting and sudden death phenomenon is discussed.
Finally, we discuss how the polarization of the atoms affects our results. For
some choices of the polarization's configuration, we no longer observe the
entanglement harvesting phenomenon.

We investigate the time-dependent atom-plate Casimir-Polder force between an atom and a conducting wall.
We find that the dynamical atom-plate Casimir-Polder interaction exhibits oscillation in time, and can be attractive or repulsive depending on time and the atom-wall distance.

We study the dynamics of entanglement between the moving atom and a qubit at rest and isolated from the thermal field.
We find that in the case of the standard Unruh-DeWitt coupling and for high temperatures of the environment the decay of entanglement is delayed due to the atom's motion.
