@article{Dragan2013LocalizedPM, title={Localized projective measurement of a quantum field in non-inertial frames}, author={Andrzej Dragan and Jason Doukas and Eduardo Mart{\'i}n-Mart{\'i}nez and David Edward Bruschi}, journal={Classical and Quantum Gravity}, year={2013}, volume={30}, pages={235006} }
We propose a projective operator formalism that is well-suited to study the correlations of quantum fields in non-inertial frames and curved spacetimes. We generalize a Glauber model of detection of a single localized field mode to allow for making measurements in an arbitrary reference frame. We show that the model correctly reproduces the Unruh temperature formula of a single accelerated detector, and use it to extract vacuum entanglement by a pair of counter-accelerating detectors. This…
