Unruh effect in quantum information beyond the single-mode approximation

We address the validity of the single-mode approximation that is commonly invoked in the analysis of entanglement in noninertial frames and in other relativistic quantum-information scenarios. We show that the single-mode approximation is not valid for arbitrary states, finding corrections to previo...

Sumario:We address the validity of the single-mode approximation that is commonly invoked in the analysis of entanglement in noninertial frames and in other relativistic quantum-information scenarios. We show that the single-mode approximation is not valid for arbitrary states, finding corrections to previous studies beyond such approximations in the bosonic and fermionic cases. We also exhibit a class of wave packets for which the single-mode approximation is justified subject to the peaking constraints set by an appropriate Fourier transform. © 2010 The American Physical Society.
