Fermionic Unruh effect revisited: Entanglement and correlation dynamics under symmetric transformations

arXiv:2610.38387v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: A uniformly accelerated observer perceives the Minkowski vacuum as a thermal bath, so acceleration acts as a noise channel on correlations shared with an inertial partner. For a Dirac field in the standard treatment, the resulting map is a one-sided amplitude-damping channel, and entanglement and quantum discord survive at infinite acceleration.

arXiv:2610.38387v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: A uniformly accelerated observer perceives the Minkowski vacuum as a thermal bath, so acceleration acts as a noise channel on correlations shared with an inertial partner. For a Dirac field in the standard treatment, the resulting map is a one-sided amplitude-damping channel, and entanglement and quantum discord survive at infinite acceleration. We introduce a symmetric Unruh-like map in which the vacuum and the one-particle state both exchange amplitude with the inaccessible Rindler region; for a Bell state it yields a bit-flip channel whose flip probability is the Fermi-Dirac occupation at the Unruh temperature.
