The authors' main claim We show that in certain circumstances, the recoils of the dynamical mirror induce decoherence effects which subsist even when the mass of the mirror is sent to infinity.

The compiled record

The paper's own sentences, arranged. Each label is drawn from a closed vocabulary; the number beside it is the probability the classifier gave that label. Numbers in the tables are the authors', checked by code. No sentence in this record was written by a model.

The abstract, sentence by sentence

arXiv listing abstract v1. Results and the main claim are underlined; .

In order to address the problem of the validity of the "background field approximation", we introduce a dynamical model for a mirror described by a massive quantum field. We then analyze the properties of the scattering of a massless field from this dynamical mirror and compare the results with the corresponding quantities evaluated using the original Davies Fulling model in which the mirror is represented by a boundary condition imposed on the massless field at its surface. We show that in certain circumstances, the recoils of the dynamical mirror induce decoherence effects which subsist even when the mass of the mirror is sent to infinity. In particular we study the case of the uniformly accelerated mirror and prove that, after a certain lapse of proper time, the decoherence effects inevitably dominate the physics of the quanta emitted forward. Then, the vanishing of the mean flux obtained in the Davies Fulling model is no longer found but replaced by a positive incoherent flux.

The paper
Original abstract

In order to address the problem of the validity of the "background field approximation", we introduce a dynamical model for a mirror described by a massive quantum field. We then analyze the properties of the scattering of a massless field from this dynamical mirror and compare the results with the corresponding quantities evaluated using the original Davies Fulling model in which the mirror is represented by a boundary condition imposed on the massless field at its surface. We show that in certain circumstances, the recoils of the dynamical mirror induce decoherence effects which subsist even when the mass of the mirror is sent to infinity. In particular we study the case of the uniformly accelerated mirror and prove that, after a certain lapse of proper time, the decoherence effects inevitably dominate the physics of the quanta emitted forward. Then, the vanishing of the mean flux obtained in the Davies Fulling model is no longer found but replaced by a positive incoherent flux.
