We analyze, in the paradigm of open quantum systems, the reduced dynamics of a freely-falling two-level detector in de Sitter space-time in weak interaction with a reservoir of fluctuating quantized conformal scalar fields in the de Sitter invariant vacuum. We find that the detector is asymptotically driven to a thermal state at the Gibbons-Hawking temperature, regardless of its initial state. Our discussion therefore shows that the Gibbons-Hawking effect of de Sitter space-time can be understood as a manifestation of thermalization phenomena that involves decoherence and dissipation in open quantum systems.

  1. Open Quantum Entanglement: A study of two atomic system in static patch of de Sitter space

    hep-th 2019-08 reject novelty 5.0 of 10

    Using a two-atom open quantum system in de Sitter space, the authors claim to derive analytic entanglement dynamics and Bell inequality violation, but the derivation rests on an ad hoc imaginary-frequency condition.
