  1. Finite Size Detectors in RQIAntony R. LeeWithIvetteFuentes University of Nottingham

  2. Detector Trajectories Inertial trajectory • Simplest trajectory • Intuitive idea of rigidity • No spontaneous transitions Antony Richard Lee RQI 2012 – Perimeter Institute Unruh Mode Detectors

  3. Detector Trajectories Accelerated trajectory • Described by Rindler coordinates • Thermal spectrum Antony Richard Lee RQI 2012 – Perimeter Institute Unruh Mode Detectors

  4. Detector Model System action Smeared field Takagi: PTPS (1986) Antony Richard Lee RQI 2012 – Perimeter Institute Unruh Mode Detectors

  5. Transition Rate Instantaneous transition rate Wightmann-function Schlicht: Class.Quant.Grav. (2004) Antony Richard Lee RQI 2012 – Perimeter Institute Unruh Mode Detectors

  6. Minkowski Modes Field expansion Mode definition Smearing E.M-M, M.M., M. Del Ray (in prep.) Antony Richard Lee RQI 2012 – Perimeter Institute Unruh Mode Detectors

  7. Rindler Modes Field expansion Mode definition Smearing Rindler Wedge Antony Richard Lee RQI 2012 – Perimeter Institute Unruh Mode Detectors

  8. Unruh Modes Mode definition Right Rindler wedge Antony Richard Lee RQI 2012 – Perimeter Institute Unruh Mode Detectors

  9. Vacuum Transition Rates Wightmann-function revisited Transition rates (Inertial) (Accelerated) Antony Richard Lee RQI 2012 – Perimeter Institute Unruh Mode Detectors

  10. Normalised States State definition State normalisation Antony Richard Lee RQI 2012 – Perimeter Institute Unruh Mode Detectors

  11. Single Unruh Particle Wightmann function Wightmann-function Unruh particle contribution Antony Richard Lee RQI 2012 – Perimeter Institute Unruh Mode Detectors

  12. Single Unruh Particle Transition Rates Transition rate definition New contribution A.R.L & I. Fuentes (in prep.) Antony Richard Lee RQI 2012 – Perimeter Institute Unruh Mode Detectors

  13. Conclusions • We looked at the effects of spatial profiles for Unruh-DeWitt detectors • Interaction Hamiltonians can be constructed such that the field is peaked around some desired frequency • The transition rates of these detectors can have a thermal signature but with an oscillatory contribution Antony Richard Lee RQI 2012 – Perimeter Institute Unruh Mode Detectors

  14. Future Work • Extensions to different fields • Consider different couplings • Cavities Antony Richard Lee RQI 2012 – Perimeter Institute Unruh Mode Detectors

  15. Thank you Antony Richard Lee RQI 2012 – Perimeter Institute Unruh Mode Detectors
