Shock wave quantum memory in shocked detector

Abstract

Usual uniformly accelerated frame, in Dray–’t Hooft spacetime, does not see the any quantum imprint on Unruh effect due to localized shock wave in Minkowski spacetime. Here, we argue that such non-appearance of quantum memory is specific to those particular observers which do not incorporate the presence of wave in their trajectory. In fact, a detector, associated with a frame which is affected by the shock, cannot be trivial in terms of its response. We explicitly show that the later type of frame detects particle in the shock wave Minkowski vacuum which is the effect of shock. Therefore, this quantum memory is very special to specific class of observers as far as Dray–’t Hooft spacetime is concerned. We analyze for a null like trajectory along which the detector is moving.
