The Unruh Effect in Slow Motion

The Unruh Effect in Slow Motion

We show under what conditions an accelerated detector (e.g., an atom/ion/molecule) thermalizes while interacting with the vacuum state of a quantum field in a setup where the detectorā€™s acceleration alternates sign across multiple optical cavities. We show (non-perturbatively) in what regimes the probe ā€˜forgetsā€™ that it is traversing cavities and ā€¦
