Entropic uncertainty and quantum non-classicality of Unruh-Dewitt detectors in relativity

An object moving with the acceleration will change the temperature of environment around it, because of the presence of the Unruh thermal effect. In this work, we investigate the impact of Unruh thermal noise on the quantum-memory-assisted entropic uncertainty and quantum correlation regarding a pair of Unruh-Dewitt detectors. Specifically, we examine how the acceleration, the coupling strength between the external field and the detector, and the initial state affect the uncertainty and the system's quantum discord. It turns out that the Unruh effect will result in the loss of the systemic quantumness and inflation of the uncertainty. Moreover, it is revealed that the uncertainty is reversely correlated with the system's quantum discord. Thereby, it is believed that our investigations provide new insights into understanding the behavior of objects in the relativistic background.

Abstract

An object moving with the acceleration will change the temperature of environment around it, because of the presence of the Unruh thermal effect. In this work, we investigate the impact of Unruh thermal noise on the quantum-memory-assisted entropic uncertainty and quantum correlation regarding a pair of Unruh-Dewitt detectors. Specifically, we examine how the acceleration, the coupling strength between the external field and the detector, and the initial state affect the uncertainty and the system's quantum discord. It turns out that the Unruh effect will result in the loss of the systemic quantumness and inflation of the uncertainty. Moreover, it is revealed that the uncertainty is reversely correlated with the system's quantum discord. Thereby, it is believed that our investigations provide new insights into understanding the behavior of objects in the relativistic background.
