Summary

Story summary

Researchers from Stockholm University and the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research Mohali developed a method to detect Unruh effect.
They use mirrors to amplify tiny quantum signals and observe a flash of light when atoms experience warming.
The approach requires less acceleration than earlier efforts and could enable gravity-driven quantum experiments in laboratory settings.
The study 'Time-Resolved and Superradiantly Amplified Unruh Effect' was published on October 27, 2025.
