We propose a scheme to detect the Unruh effect in a circularly rotated Unruh-DeWitt detector enclosed within a cylindrical cavity. This technique relies on the enhanced atomic spontaneous emission rate related to the counter-rotating coupling between the detector and massless scalar fields. Our analysis demonstrates that the integration of a cylindrical cavity, coherent light excitation, and multi-atom super-radiation significantly enhances the signal strength, as the radiation rate associated with the standard rotating-wave coupling can be greatly suppressed within the cavity. Compared to linear acceleration, circular motion can significantly reduce the atomic acceleration path length, leading to increased detection efficiency and lower experimental difficulty. Our method provides a novel avenue for exploring relativistic effects on a compact, tabletop platform.

  1. Cavity-controlled Inhibition of Decoherence in Accelerated Quantum Detectors

    gr-qc 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    Moderate acceleration of an Unruh-DeWitt detector in a cylindrical cavity suppresses decoherence more effectively than the inertial case by smearing resonant modes and replacing off-resonant decay with oscillations.

  2. Probing Unruh Effect from Enhanced Decoherence

    gr-qc 2026-03 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    Decoherence rate of an Unruh-DeWitt detector scales as a^{2Δ-1} in the long-time limit, increasing with the scaling dimension Δ of the coupled field and offering a more sensitive probe of the Unruh effect.
