The Unruh-DeWitt Detector Model: Modified Dispersion and Nonlinear Couplings

Sachs, A. Morgan (University of Waterloo, 2021-09-30)

In this work, we employ the Unruh-DeWitt (UDW) detector model to various ends. We present applications of this relativistic detector model to quantum optics, including decoherence in optical cavities and non-linear quantum ...
What can detectors detect?

Henderson, Laura (University of Waterloo, 2021-01-29)

This thesis is focused on using a pair of Unruh-DeWitt detectors, which interact locally with a quantum field, to gain information about properties of the field and the underlying spacetime. First, we consider a massless ...
