Entanglement Harvesting and Divergences in Unruh-DeWitt Detector Pairs
(University of Waterloo, 2017-08-28)We analyze correlations between pairs of detectors quadratically coupled to real and complex scalar bosonic fields in 3+1 dimensions. This is a first step toward studying the entanglement structure of the fermionic ... -
Probing the Unruh and Hawking effects using Unruh-DeWitt detectors
(University of Waterloo, 2017-10-18)Quantum field theory is so far the best description of the fundamental laws of Nature, yet it does not fully incorporates gravitation. The first attempt toward unifying the quantum field theory and gravity is a semi-classical ... -
Sensing the shape of spacetime: detector response and entanglement harvesting in curved space
(University of Waterloo, 2019-01-24)This thesis seeks to understand what information Unruh-DeWitt detectors can gain about the structure of spacetime. By coupling to the quantum state of a field on a curved space, the detectors can gain information about ...
