• Abstract: In this article we extend the Horizon Brightened Acceleration Radiation (HBAR) framework to the causal diamond (CD) spacetime. We study a cloud of two-level atoms, injected at random times in the asymptotic past of the CD, freely falling toward its causal horizon and emitting scalar radiation via a weak dipole coupling to a quantum field. In the near-horizon region, an emergent conformal symmetry-captured by conformal quantum mechanics (CQM)-governs the field dynamics and allows analytic control of the emission process. We find that the radiation spectrum is thermal, with temperature $T_D = 1/(\pi\alpha)$, and that the associated von Neumann entropy flux reproduces the entropy production of the radiation field. These results demonstrate that the causal horizons of the CD spacetime effectively act as a topological thermal reservoir, with thermal properties arising entirely from the global causal structure rather than from underlying microscopic degrees of freedom, highlighting that the validity of the HBAR framework is fundamentally tied to the existence of causal horizons, independent of the presence of a black hole.

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

  A general bound on the Lyapunov exponent of a quantum system is given by $lambda_Lleq2pi,T/hbar$, where $T$ is the system temperature. We show that the IHO may exhibit the behavior of thermal energy emission, in close analogy to the Hawking radiation emitted by black holes. We derive the corresponding out-of-time-ordered correlation function (OTOC) diagnosing quantum chaos, and theoretically show, that the effective temperature of the trapped-ion-IHO matches the upper MSS bound for the speed of scrambling
