Both effects result from the emission of pairs of photons, a quantum effect related to the fluctuations of the Casimir force. We discuss different alternative methods for the computation of the decoherence time scale. We take the example of a spherical perfectly-reflecting particle, and consider the zero and high temperature limits. We also present short general reviews on decoherence and dynamical Casimir effect.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2001-03-14T18:39:08.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "decoherence effects", "motion-induced radiation", "short general reviews", "high temperature limits", "decoherence time scale" ], "tags": [ "conference paper" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 9, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
