• Abstract: We study the prospect of the equivalence principle at the quantum regime by investigating the transition probabilities of a two-level atomic detector in different scenarios. In particular, two specific set-ups are considered. ($i$) $Without~a~boundary$: In one scenario the atom is in uniform acceleration and interacting with Minkowski field modes. While in the other the atom is static and in interaction with Rindler field modes. ($ii$) $With~a~reflecting~boundary$: In one scenario, the atom is uniformly accelerated, and the mirror is static, and in the other scenario, the atom is static, and the mirror is in uniform acceleration. In these cases, the atom interacts with the field modes, defined in the mirror's frame. For both the set-ups, the focus is on the excitation and de-excitation probabilities in $(1+1)$ and $(3+1)$ spacetime dimensions. Our observations affirm that in $(1+1)$ dimensions, for both set-ups the transition probabilities from different scenarios become the same when the atomic and the field frequencies are equal. In contrast, in $(3+1)$ dimensions this equivalence is not observed in general, inspiring us to look for a deeper physical interpretation. Our findings suggest that when the equivalence between different scenarios is concerned, the excitation to de-excitation ratio provides a more consistent measure even in $(3+1)$ dimensions. We discuss the physical interpretation and implications of our findings.

  We show theoretically that it is possible to transfer vibrational excitation between trapped neutral atoms over a micrometer apart. We find that there is a "sweet spot" where the transfer of a vibrational excitation is nearly perfect and fast compared to the Rydberg lifetime.

We will verify that such non-local point interactions do not exhibit the ultraviolet pathologies that are present in the case of standard local point interactions.

  We investigate nonclassical properties of a state generated by the interaction of a three-level atom with a quantized cavity field and an external classical driving field. The state vector $|psi(t)rangle$ describes the entire atom-field system but we analyze the properties of the cavity field independently neglecting the atomic component of the system.

  We treat two identical and mutually independent two-level atoms that are coupled to a quantum field as an open quantum system. We compare the entanglement dynamics of the two atoms moving with different trajectories in $kappa$-deformed and Minkowski spacetimes. When the environment-induced interatomic interaction does not exist, the entanglement dynamics of two static atoms in $kappa$-deformed spacetime are reduced to that in Minkowski spacetime.

  We introduce field states that transform an atom from its ground or excited state to any point on the Bloch sphere without residual atom-field entanglement. The best strong pulses for carrying out rotations by angle $theta$ are are squeezed in photon-number variance by a factor of $rmsinctheta$. We extend these investigations to fields interacting with multiple atoms simultaneously, discovering once again that number squeezing by $tfracpi2$ is optimal for enacting $tfracpi2$ pulses on all of the atoms simultaneously.

We show that it is modulated in time, and that the presence of the oscillating mirror can enhance or inhibit the decay rate.
