量子电场涨落的非抵消模型
A Model for Non-Cancellation of Quantum Electric Field Fluctuations
摘要:
在反射边界附近振荡的定域带电粒子被认为是真空涨落非抵消的模型。虽然颗粒的平均速度是正弦曲线,但由真空波动产生的速度变化可以随时间线性地增长或减小,这取决于振荡频率和到边界的距离的乘积。这相当于加热或冷却,这是由于电场波动的非抵消而引起的,否则这些波动在时间上是不相关的。在N个含时弯曲时空的量子场效应中也出现类似的非抵消现象。我们给出了一些估计的影响的大小,并讨论其潜在的可观测性。我们还比较了真空波动的影响与散粒噪声由于有限数量的光子的发射。我们发现,这两种效应在大小上可以比较,但具有不同的特征,因此可以在实验中区分。
英文摘要:
A localized charged particle oscillating near a reflecting boundary is considered as a model for non-cancellation of vacuum fluctuations. Although the mean velocity of the particle is sinusoidal, the velocity variance produced by vacuum fluctuation can either grow or decrease linearly in time, depending upon the product of the oscillation frequency and the distance to the boundary. This amounts to heating or cooling, arising from non-cancellation of electric field fluctuations, which are otherwise anticorrelated in time. Similar non-cancellations arise in quantum field effects iN time-dependent curved spacetimes. We give some estimates of the magnitude of the effect, and discuss its potential observability. We also compare the effects of vacuum fluctuations with the shot noise due to emission of a finite number of photons. We find that the two effects can be comparable in magnitude, but have distinct characteristics, and hence could be distinguished in an experiment.
