Probing long-range properties of vacuum altered by uniformly accelerating two spatially separated Unruh-DeWitt detectors

In a quantum sense, vacuum is not an empty void but full of virtual particles (fields). It may have long-range properties, be altered, and even undergo phase transitions. It is suggested that long-range properties of a quantum vacuum may be probed by distributing matter over a large spatial volume....
