Quantum optics approach to radiation from atoms falling into a black hole
Abstract
Using a combination of quantum optics and general relativity, we show that the radiation emitted by atoms falling into a black hole looks like, but is different from, Hawking radiation. This analysis also provides insight into the Einstein principle of equivalence between acceleration and gravity.
