Smooth and sharp creation of a spherical shell for a (3+1)-dimensional quantum field
We study the creation of a spherical, finite radius source for a quantized massless scalar field in 3 þ 1 dimensions. The goal is to model the breakdown of correlations that has been proposed to occur at the horizon of an evaporating black hole. We do this by introducing at fixed radius r ¼ a a one...
