The Unruh effect predicts a thermal response for an accelerated detector moving through the vacuum. Here we propose an interferometric scheme to observe an analogue of the circular Unruh effect using a localized laser coupled to a Bose-Einstein conde...

Unruh and analogue Unruh temperatures for circular motion in 3+1 and 2+1 dimensions (2020)
Journal Article

The Unruh effect states that a uniformly linearly accelerated observer with proper acceleration a experiences Minkowski vacuum as a thermal state in the temperature Tlin=a/(2?), operationally measurable via the detailed balance condition between exci...
