Robustness of Wave–Particle Duality under Unruh Effect

By considering a uniformly accelerated two-level system in an initial superposition state of a qubit, we investigate the loss of coherence induced by the acceleration. In addition, we investigate the impact of acceleration on the complementarity relation in a quantum interferometric circuit or quant...

Description
Summary:By considering a uniformly accelerated two-level system in an initial superposition state of a qubit, we investigate the loss of coherence induced by the acceleration. In addition, we investigate the impact of acceleration on the complementarity relation in a quantum interferometric circuit or quantum scattering circuit. We present an alternative approach to exploring acceleration effects through examination of quantum coherence decay and degradation in the interference pattern. Our investigations help to provide understanding of the consequences of decoherence induced by the Unruh effect on the wave–particle duality of a uniformly accelerated qubit.
