Causality in quantum optics and entanglement of Minkowski vacuum
Emission of photons by atoms can occur into modes which extend into a region causally disconnected with the emitter. For example, a uniformly accelerated ground-state atom emits a photon into the Unruh-Minkowski mode which is exponentially larger in the causally disconnected region. This makes an im...
