TLDR
In this article, the nature of the interaction between a quantum field and an accelerating particle detector is analyzed from the point of view of an inertial observer, and it is shown in detail for the simple case of a two-level detector how absorption of a Rindler particle corresponds to emission of a Minkowski particle.Abstract:
The nature of the interaction between a quantum field and an accelerating particle detector is analyzed from the point of view of an inertial observer. It is shown in detail for the simple case of a two-level detector how absorption of a Rindler particle corresponds to emission of a Minkowski particle. Several apparently paradoxical aspects of this process related to causality and energy conservation are discussed and resolved.read more

On the Quantum Structure of a Black Hole
TL;DR: In this paper, the assumption is made that black holes should be subject to the same rules of quantum mechanics as ordinary elementary particles or composite systems, and a general framework for reconciling this requirement with that of general coordinate transformation invariance is suggested.

The Unruh effect and its applications
TL;DR: The Unruh effect has played a crucial role in our understanding that the particle content of a field theory is observer dependent as mentioned in this paper, which is important in its own right and as a way to understand the phenomenon of particle emission from black holes and cosmological horizons.

Quantum Information and Relativity Theory
Asher Peres,Daniel R. Terno +1 more
TL;DR: In particular, when black holes (or more generally, event horizons) are involved most of the current concepts in quantum information theory may then require a reassessment as discussed by the authors, in particular when black hole horizons are involved.

Jerusalem Lectures on Black Holes and Quantum Information
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors give an introduction to the quantum physics of black holes, including recent developments based on quantum information theory such as the rewall paradox and its various cousins, focusing on those aspects which are relevant for the black hole information problem.

Quantum coherence and geometric quantum discord
TL;DR: This aim is to provide a full review about the resource theory of quantum coherence, including its application in many-body systems, and the discordlike quantum correlations which were defined based on the various distance measures of states.
