• Abstract: We investigate the mutual information harvesting of two circularly accelerated detectors that interact with the massless scalar fields near a reflecting boundary. We consider that the two detectors share a common rotational axis with the same acceleration and trajectory radius. As the interdetector separation increases, the mutual information may exhibit oscillatory behavior at large acceleration and small radius. For a fixed radius, a larger acceleration leads to a larger peak value of the mutual information. Near the boundary, the mutual information may oscillate and the maximum can be obtained. As the acceleration increases, the mutual information in a small interdetector separation first increases and then decreases. For an intermediate interdetector separation, the mutual information may oscillate with the increase of acceleration. For a not large interdetector separation, when we take large acceleration and small radius, as the energy gap increases, the mutual information first decreases, then oscillates, and finally goes to zero. The combination of large acceleration and small radius corresponds to the fast rotation, which significantly modifies the vacuum fluctuations of the field, leading to the oscillatory behavior. Furthermore, the oscillation intensifies near the boundary, which indicates that it is related to the coherent superposition of boundary reflections.

• Spatial quasiperiodic driving of a dissipative optical lattice and origin of directed Brillouin modes in a randomly diffusing cold atom cloud [34.82692226532414]
  Atoms confined in a three-dimensional dissipative optical lattice oscillate inside potential wells, hopping to adjacent wells, thereby diffusing in all directions. Illumination by a weak probe beam modulates the lattice, yielding propagating atomic density waves, referred to as Brillouin modes which travel perpendicular to the direction of travel of the probe. A systematic measurement of the transmitted probe spectra as a function of off-axis probe angle is presented, which is consistent with the velocity- and frequency-matching predictions from the detailed model.

  Long-range properties of a quantum vacuum may be probed by distributing matter over a large spatial volume. We study two uniformly accelerated Unruh-DeWitt detectors which are spatially separated. When the inter-detector separation is much larger than the thermal wavelength of the Unruh thermal bath, the inter-detector interaction displays a completely new behavior.

We observe that compared to a detector at rest, for certain values of the initial energy of the field and the interaction duration, the amount is larger for both a detector moving with a constant speed or uniform acceleration.
