A General Master Equation for Two Accelerated Detectors: Stationary States and Entanglement

Abstract:We derive a general Gorini-Kossakowski-Lindblad-Sudarshan master equation for two co-located, uniformly accelerated two-level detectors weakly coupled to scalar fields in the Minkowski vacuum, retaining coherent and dissipative contributions for arbitrary orientations, field masses, and spacetime dimensions. For equal orientations, we determine stationary states and their entanglement for two couplings to massless fields in four dimensions: symmetric coupling yields acceleration-dependent concurrence, whereas rotating-wave coupling gives acceleration-independent concurrence.
